The modern emphasis on taking University Education to the villages so that the poor of the rural areas may benefit from the fruits of research, teaching and learning in our institutions is the sole aim of this pioneering outreach programme STAND which was introduced in the academic year 1993-94. The primary objective of this programme is to contribute to the total development of people through awareness and training. It aims at creating a sense of social justice and social concern among the students through exposure to rural realities leading to a committed involvement towards the integrated development of the rural poor.
This is a compulsory programme in which all II year UG and I Year PG students are required to participate and it earns one credit for UG and two credits for PG students.
Every Department will be allotted one village situated around Palayamkottai within a radius of 20 to 25 km. After an orientation programme the students will be required to visit their “adopted” village and interact with the people at regular intervals. This involvement and exposure, under the guidance of the staff, will make their learning socially relevant and useful both to the villagers and to the students. Each department will have one member of the staff as contact person to whom the students could refer matters concerning this village programme.
