DEEKSHARAMBH 2024
STUDENT INDUCTION PROGRAMME
27 August 2024 – 31 August 2024
The transition from school to university/college life is one of the most challenging events in a student’s life. When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and preparations. They come into a new unfamiliar environment, and most of them have little knowledge of the institution. An important task, therefore, is to welcome new students to K.R. Mangalam University and prepare them for their new role.
The purpose of the Deeksharambh – Student Induction Programme is to help new students adjust and feel comfortable in the new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution, help them build bonds with other students and faculty members and expose them to a larger sense of larger purpose and self-exploration.
The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the incumbents adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment. In other words, it is a well-planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particular institution and connect them with the people in it. Student Induction Programme engages with the new students as soon as they come into the institution before regular classes start. At the start of the induction, the incumbents learn about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor groups are formed.
Student Induction Programme at K.R. Mangalam University covers a number of different aspects (SAGE):
- Socialising: meeting other new students, senior students, lectures by Eminent People;
- Associating: visits to university/college, visits to Dept./Labs and important places in campus, local area, city and so on;
- Governing: rules and regulations, student support services etc;
- Experiencing: Subject lectures, study skills, small-group activities, physical activity, creative and performing arts, literary activities, universal human values, etc.
