OUT REACH

Rakhi Kiosk
On 5th August 2014, Enactus Somaiya Social
cell in association with National Association of
Blind conducted the Rakhi Kiosk in our SIMSR
campus. Along with the Rakhis made by partially
blind kids of NAB, we also had two mehendi artists
applying mehendi to the ladies of our college. The
event gained good response and lead to a good
contribution to NAB by the Rakhi's sold.

he Team FinLit at Enactus Somaiya Social Cell
has always striven to contribute to the cause of
providing education to the underprivileged and
giving India a chance to speak, read and write lines
to a new chapter of a fresh, literate and visionary
Bharat. FinLit organized a convocation ceremony
for certificate distribution to the students of KJ
Somaiya Vocational Training Institute (VTI). The
event was conducted in the presence of Prof. Asha
Bhatia, the faculty coordinator of Enactus SSC, Mr.
Mathew, Principal of VTI and Dalvi Sir, who were
instrumental in helping us throughout the FinLit
program at VTI. The principal of VTI, Mr. Mathew,
appreciated the efforts put in by the volunteers and
looked forward to the upcoming FinLit sessions
and also requested to increase the number of

batches for VTI since a larger
number of students are now
interested to be a part of this
program. This was followed
by the convocation ceremony
for the meritorious students
of VTI by Prof.Asha Bhatia.
All FinLit Programs are
suppor ted by IIFL who
recently felicitated Project
FinLit with a grant of Rs.
30000 and also provided
Financial Literacy Material to
all 442 students associated
with the Project. Project
FinLit will continue to
contribute to the cause of
spreading financial
awareness and English
proficiency amongst the students and contribute in
a small, but sure way to the Millennium
Development Goal of Literacy.
