Institutional Social Responsibility / Community Outreach Programme
International Youth Day is an
awareness day designated by the United Nations that takes place on August 12,
2024. The purpose of the day is to draw attention to a given set of cultural
and legal issues surrounding youth. As
a part of Institutional Social Responsibility, the Department of Computer
Applications in association with Nava Jeevan Trust organized an “Awareness
Speech on Tobacco Control” at Bosco Academy, Madhavaram on the account of
International Youth Day 2024. The speech was delivered by Mrs. Sangeetha of
Nava Jeevan Trust highlighting the severe health risks associated with the use
of tobacco directly or indirectly. It emphasized the importance of quitting
tobacco to improve quality of life and encouraged preventive measures,
particularly among youth, to combat addiction and reduce the societal impact of
tobacco-related illnesses.
As a part of an outreach program
on International Youth Day 2024 with the theme “Youth Digital Pathways for
Sustainable Development” various competitions were conducted to the students of
Bosco Academy and KRM Public School by the Department of Computer Applications
