Five students from Class XI and the two school counsellors participated in a rural outreach programme titled ‘Books are Bridges’ which was organised by Pukaar, an NGO. The students and teachers went to hand over an almirah full of books to Thakurnagar Nanda Mahila Vidyapith, a school in Purba Medinipur. The team from SBGS spent some time with the students of the school in Purba Medinipur and engaged in a few bonding activities like making a tree of friendship with thumb prints, playing dumb charades and singing songs together. The students of SBGS also organised games for the students there and gave away goody bags containing assorted products to the winners. This was an enriching experience for the students and teachers alike.
On 6th December 2023, 4 students and 3 teachers from Sushila Birla Girls’ School embarked on a mission to Jiling Sereng, a village in Purulia. The primary aim of the visit was to distribute warm clothes and blankets among the 100 underprivileged families residing in the village. This initiative was a part of a larger effort by the school to support those in need and contribute to enhancing the quality of their life thereby fostering a culture of philanthropy and team work in the students. Indu Prabha of Class XI H said, “It was wonderful to see the radiant faces of the inmates on receiving the clothes and blankets from us.”
A targeted donation drive was organized in the school, encouraging students and members of staff to contribute gently-used clothing items. Donated items were meticulously sorted to ensure quality and appropriateness. They were then packaged into bundles, considering factors such as age and gender to meet the diverse needs of the community.
