3.6. EXTENSION ACTIVITIES AND INSTITUTIONAL SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY (ISR)

The College believes that developing sensitivities towards community issues, gender
disparities, social inequity etc. and inculcating values and commitment to society
among students of the College fulfills the larger purpose of education. This is seen in
the close interaction and operation of College‘s social service extension associations
namely the National Service Scheme (NSS), Christian Students Association (CSA),
Joseph‘s Outreach Centre, Josephite Aids Awareness Movement (JAAM), and
National Cadet Corps (NCC). The College also conducts two full-time courses namely
Bachelor‘s in Social Work (BSW) and Master‘s in Social Work (MSW), which are
specifically aimed at creating graduates who are sensitive to the issues and reality of
society and have the knowledge and tools to effect change and development in society.
These extension services have influenced students, their understanding of the existence
of various ills of society both in rural and urban Karnataka, impact of various policies
and practices and how these have impacted life in general. It has positively affected
the knowledge generation process that happens in academics and enabled value-
clarification among students by the process of reflection and learning.

3.6.1. How does the College sensitize the faculty and students on Institutional
Social Responsibilities? List the social outreach programs which have created an
impact on students‟ campus experiences.

 At the time of admissions, students and parents are sensitized to the role they are
expected to play in fighting for social causes through their participation in Joseph‘s
Outreach Program, Bembala, which is conducted by the Joseph‘s Outreach Centre
during the year. Parents and students commit to these programs which include a
mandatory stay for students in a village and offering their services to various
programs organized in the city. This outreach centre has a fully equipped resource
centre and staff who coordinate and conduct the outreach programs for all the
classes.
 The orientation program for freshers introduces them to the existence and operation
of various social injustices and marginalization that prevail and how the social
service associations in College attempt to address them. Students are encouraged to
become members and participate in the activities of these associations.
