Post from Shiva: Pondicherry University Social Work Department

Day 7
I am very happy happy to write this blog about Pondicherry university visit with all our SU2I team.

We went and met Dr. Nalini, Head, Department of Social Work. She gave brief orientation about the Department and University. We had very good interaction program with Master of Social Work students as they shared about their Rural Camp experience and Field Work experience with our CLP & TYCL team. Ms. Samantha honored all the facilities of the Department.

I am very glad all our youths and mentors had a very good interaction with MSW students, which exhibits the USA and India Social Change Works .

Then we moved to next class where we met a new batch of MSW students and attended class with them on the topic of Life Experience & Community Based Coastal Disaster Management by Dr. C. Satheesh Kumar. It was nice to spend time with USA and Indian students in one room. We met all the faculties and had interaction with them and took group photo with them as well as conveyed our great and strong gratitude to all the Faculties and University people.

We had a typical North and South Indian Lunch at University Canteen at our University. I can able to observe that some of the youth really like Thanthuri Chicken. It was fun.

It was my dream to show my university, faculties and department to all the SU2I team , because this is the place where I raised and get involved in Academic and Social Change work with various organizations in India.
