Please start typing your answers from this page where information is asked for.

• Acknowledgement by the Student

I extend my gratitude to my project mentor (Prof. Tejas Vijay Pednekar) and my college principal (Dr.

Debajit Sarkar) for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work on this project and providing the

necessary resources and encouragement that enabled me to do this project. Further I would like to

thank my parents and friends for helping me throughout this project.

(Please mention the kind of support provided by DLLE Unit, Principal & Extension teachers,
work place staff, community and others.)

• My reason for joining Extension Work Activity:

Answer: I wanted to be the part of this activity where I can get socially connected to people in

their problem solving. To build social responsibility in myself and learning by rendering my time to

society. I wanted to experience and to bring awareness among society with regards to population .

• Please write about:

• How I started
• How I was trained – acquired skills
• How I built rapport with the others / community around.
• How I worked and the kind of work, carried out
(Write in detail with your experiences & Project related data)
Answer: I was glad that I got an opportunity to be the part of this Department of Life-

long Learning and extension. I was thrilled to participate in activities. I got socially connected

with people. I grew my communication skills. I am more confident now after participating in

DLLE. I was somewhere a helping hand for people. The seminar regarding road safety was all

new to me. I came across road safety rules. Which need to be known to everybody. Those rules

are not only for the person who drives the two wheelers or three wheelers, those are meant for

pedestrians also. Many more activities and seminars were held and all were informative and

productive.

• Please write about the difficulties you faced while conducting activities.

Answer: One of the significant challenges I encountered was maintaining activities on

schedule due to delayed information reaching us in a timely manner. This posed difficulties in

coordinating and planning, leading to missed deadlines and disrupted schedules.

• How did you overcome the difficulties?

Answer: To address this issue, we initiated efforts to streamline our communication channels,

ensuring prompt and efficient dissemination of information among all. This enhancement in

communication facilitated better coordination and enabled us to execute activities in a timelier

manner.

• Please write about your expectations from extension work activities.

Answer: I was expecting more practical activities and a greater number of them in DLLE.

Practical activities, where we can apply what we learn in real life, are very helpful for learning. Doing

more of these activities will help us understand better and learn more skills. Also, having a variety of

activities more often would be great because it exposes us to different things and makes learning

more interesting

• Are your expectations fulfilled? Please brief.

Answer: Some of my expectations from DLLE were met through the activities offered, but I

was hoping for more. While I found the activities helpful, I thought there could be a greater variety

and more of them. Even though I gained value from the activities I took part in, I believe that having

more practical exercises and covering a wider range of topics would have made my learning

experience even better.

• What did you learn by Extension Activities? (gain / loss)

Answer: Participating in extension activities has significantly broadened my understanding

and prepared me to contribute to society. These activities have not only deepened my knowledge of

various topics but have also equipped me with valuable skills that are essential for making meaningful

contributions to society. Additionally, engaging in extension activities has allowed me to interact with

diverse communities and perspectives, further enriching my learning experience. Overall, these

activities have played a crucial role in shaping me into a more informed and socially responsible

individual.

• How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?

Answer: Extension work helps me contribute to society by teaching me about different issues

and how I can help solve them. It gives me a chance to learn new skills and understand more about

the world around me. When I participate in extension activities, I meet people from different

backgrounds and learn from their experiences. This helps me become more aware of the needs of my

community and find ways to make a positive impact. Overall, extension work helps me become a

better citizen by giving me the tools and knowledge to help others and improve society.

• What is your suggestion?

Answer: I would like to suggest that you must conduct more programs like this. It will add

value to students’ development.

Essay Writing on social issues / Additional Information you

may wish to share with us for improvement.
Answer:
TITLE: IMPACT ON OVERPOPULATION
Overpopulation refers to an undesirable condition in which the number of existing human being
exceeds the actual carrying capacity of the earth. It has many causes which range from a decline in
the death rate to early marriages and more. The overpopulation essay will throw light on this issue.

The ill-effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first one is that natural resources deplete at a
faster level. Our planet can produce only a limited amount of water and food. Thus, overpopulation
causes environmental damage including deforestation, pollution, etc.

Similarly, there is the degradation of the environment which happens because of the overuse of
resources like coal, oil, natural gases and more. As a result, the quality of air also gets affected in this
manner.
In developing countries, overpopulation puts a strain on resources. Thus, it gives rise to conflicts and
tension. It also causes more diseases that become harder to control.

Moreover, it rises due to overpopulation. There is more number of people than job opportunities. As
a result, unemployment gives rise to crimes like theft and more. We also have pandemics and
epidemics which happen due to overpopulation.

It is because overcrowded and unhygienic living gives rise to infectious diseases. Another ill-effect
is malnutrition and starvation. When there are scarce resources, these diseases will likely to be on the
rise.

Most importantly, we have a shortage of water which makes it tougher for people to get access to
clean water. Similarly, lower life expectancy also happens because of the boom in population,
especially in less-developed nations.
