Snehasangamam

Snehasangamam is the flagship event of NIMIT which is hosted by the college every year during the month of February for differently abled persons. The event is coordinated by the second year undergraduate students of all the departments through their generous and wholehearted support along with the campus community, teaching and non-teaching fraternity and the management. Every year, institutions that are instrumental in housing as well as caretaking disabled persons far and wide from around the college, are invited to NIMIT for Snehasangamam.

This outreach  programme is integral to the values that NIMIT holds up as an example to their students. Snehasangamam throws open a great opportunity and a memorable experience for the coordinators as well as the campus community  to extend their hands to the community around us. NIMIT strongly believes in a life that is led with social commitment as well as giving back to the community.  Snehasangamam is an experience that helps students to realize that it is not what they have accomplished, but what they have received and what they have given back to the society that enriches their lives. The NIMIT view of Higher education has never been simplistic or one-sided. NIMIT takes effort that concerns all round development of a student as well as with a special focus on critical praxis that engages students to yoke their academics excellence, their personal concerns, and their character development to the transformation of society, deeply disturbed by inequality and injustice. 

The Outreach program draws its inspiration from the college’s vision to become a center par excellence of learning, where the best in humans is unveiled, based on human values, focused on life enhancement and constructive in adapting to the needs of the world. Snehasangamam will provide students with a platform to explore and develop the art of critical thinking, the skill of leadership and techniques of meaningful interventions aimed at building a just and equitable society .

In alignment with NIMIT’s vision for Higher Education, the University Grants Commission, the Higher Education Authority in India, has recognized the relevance and importance of orienting the students with the skills required in community development and sensitizing them towards various issues of marginalized groups in Kerala and instill confidence and satisfaction for taking up the cause for the development of those groups. 

Having conducted Snehasangamam over the years in a successful manner, it was as per the NAAC recommendation that we thought of institutionalizing the programme on a yearly basis. With the help of teacher coordinators, the college counselors and the student representatives, NIMIT was able to formulate a policy on par with the objective of institutionalizing Snehasangamam as the yearly outreach program. 

To this purpose, eleven institutions were chosen to initiate the plan. Each first year class is given the opportunity to adopt and cater to the needs of one of these institutions. Each class is also given a platform to build rapport with the invited institution. Every class has to carry out six activities and formulate strategies to work it out effectively with the institution, also having to visit the particular institution and conduct an analysis or survey as to what type of service or support is required by them and to extend aid toward accomplishing them. The students also get to know, understand and realize the needs and requirements of every institution that they interact with so that they can plan out the ways and means through which it could be initiated and fulfilled for the institution.

NIMIT has always kept its mission and vision upright, setting itself as a distinct institution who mold their students into better individuals. Whoever enters the institute is taken care of, preparing each person into a better human being who can serve the society in future. We prepare a base of opportunities which enable students to build a firm foundation. The Social Service Programmes are also the stepping stones through which NIMIT has given the students a vital role to play in the society, raising them as responsible individuals who learn to keep up the values of compassion and humanity.

Snehasangamam is the most elegant programme that has conquered the hearts of everyone in NIMIT. We were happy to see that our students were coming up with innovative ideas to work out the objectives of the new initiative, therefore, Snehasangamam has become a permanent and integral part of NIMIT.
