The Clean-Up Drive
The Clean-Up Drive was conducted in and around the ASCOT campus. The participants, including ASCOT students, Alpha Kappa Rho members, and other volunteers, worked together to clean up the campus and its surroundings. Everyone worked tirelessly, picking up trash and sweeping the area clean. The team collected a significant amount of waste, including plastics, papers, wrappers, and other debris.
The Clean-Up Drive was aimed at raising awareness about the importance of keeping our surroundings neat and clean. It is vital to maintain a clean environment to protect ourselves from diseases and to reduce our carbon footprint. This initiative was a significant step towards promoting sustainable development, which is a vital goal for the college and the community.
The Psychosocial Debriefing Seminar
The second part of the event was the Psychosocial Debriefing seminar aimed at promoting mental health awareness. The seminar was conducted by an expert in the field who provided valuable insights into mental health management. The topics discussed in the seminar included the importance of mental health, common mental health issues, ways to manage mental health, and the role of social support in mental health management.
The seminar was conducted to help students cope with the stress and pressure they face in their academic and personal lives. Mental health is a crucial aspect of our overall well-being, and it is essential to learn how to manage it effectively. The seminar was a perfect opportunity for the students to learn about the importance of mental health and how they can take care of themselves.
