TIRUCHI: Extension activities help students gain a good understanding of the society, the Joint Director of Collegiate Education, Tiruchi, M. Bava Mohideen, said.

Highlighting the significance of societal interface at the inaugural of the Part-V and Extension and Extracurricular activities for the first-year undergraduate students of Jamal Mohamed College earlier this week, Prof. Mohideen observed that while NSS activities help students keep in touch with realities in the society, NCC fosters patriotism and discipline. Likewise, the latent talent of students surface when they take part in fine arts activities.

Those who work hard during student days and make use of opportunities to realise their capabilities would easily succeed in finding good jobs, he said, adding that only such kind of students would be able to progress well in their career.

Students have to work towards an aim, Prof. Mohideen said.

Principal M. Sheik Mohamed said that the extension activities were meant to develop students’ social concern through interaction with the public.

It is through such activities that they could imbibe the attributes of self-control and discipline.

He said that under Part V, students at the college had the following options: NCC, NSS, Sports and Games, Fine Arts, Rotaract Club, Leo Club, Anti-Dowry Association, Youth Red Cross, Consumer Cell, University Students’ Service Corps, Red Ribbon Club and Abstinence Club.

K. Kanagaraj, Coordinator, NSS, Bharathidasan University, spoke on the importance of NSS, Red Ribbon Club and Abstinence Club.

M. Joseph Irudayaraj, Reader, Department of Human Resource Management, St. Joseph’s College, elucidated further on Part V activities.

B.M. Gulam Mohideen, Coordinator, Part V Activities, Jamal Mohamed College, enlightened the first-year students on Sports, YRC, Consumer Club and USSC.
