High School, Inavolu on 14^th October 2019. The aim of this social outreach programme titled Each One Teach One was to connect the campus to the ground realities of the society and to inculcate a sense of social responsibility among the budding engineers of this prestigious institution. At the same time, the mission was also to benefit the school children by providing them with a set of dramaturgical and creative input which would cultivate and enhance their interpersonal and artistic skills. The students of VIT-AP under the captaincy of their club co-ordinator Dr. Karthika V.K. , worked effectively for a day with a set of activities which were properly planned and executed. They began the session with a warm-up aerobic session, which was followed by a number of other activities which included theatre games, language games, painting, teaching first aid, and origami. The VIT-AP students worked as tutors and mentors with various groups of children. Through this session the children at Z.P. school got a great exposure to many talents which they perceived hitherto as inaccessible. There was a mini exhibition of the art work done by the students in the afternoon. One of the university students Cyril said that he learned to awaken everyone and himself to have a concern for the poor and he marginalized students. “I learned to respect what they have and share our resources with them. I understood that we need to lift others up with us when we try to rise high”, he said.
