Visit to St. Marys Old Age Home 29th Jan 2011

the RDIAS constantly endeavors towards inculcating in the students a sense of Social Commitment along with Professional Excellence. Keeping this in mind, a visit to St. Marys Old Age Home was organized. The event aimed at making the students understand and take note of the fact that education teaches the society to take onus of responsibilities out of which caring for our parents and the elderly is the hallmark of a civilized society.

Description of the event

This visit was organized for the students of MBA & MCA. It is our honor indeed to bring forward the fact that the students were motivated enough to coordinate for the visit amongst themselves and collect contributions in the form of clothes and eatables. The home houses 20 women form well to do families. This was the stark reality which the students had to come to terms with. It cuts one sadly to see the grief of old people, the new

spring brings no new shoots out on the withered tree. The students made a genuine effort to make the ladies feel good and happy by initiating and involving them in activities like passing the parcel, playing cards and dances. The ladies at old age home shed all their inhibitions and danced with the students. It was evident that at this stage of their life and situation, they longed for nothing more than love, care and affection. Every good thing comes to an end. These gestures and ideas reinstate in the students a sense of acceptance & respect for the elderly After all what goes around, comes around. It we treat the elderly with respect; our children will render the same treatment to us. We sincerely hope that this act of humility on behalf of RDIAS would help the students to become better citizens and good human beings.
