CENTRE FOR EXTENSION EDUCATION

The student community is a vast reservoir of human energy waiting to be harnessed for useful purposes. Only they need opportunities, which will capture and arrest their imagination, tap their power, unlock their talents and develop their potential. Their youth and vigor should be utilized fully in the process of modernizing the traditional rural society through the transfer of science and technology. This would be possible only when education is related to the solution of their personal and community problems, and a close association between the curricula, college and the community is established.

Keeping this view in mind, Radhamadhab College, Silchar has established Extension Education Centre in 2002 with the aim to involve the students in nation-building activities and for optimum utilization of education for the welfare of the society. The mission of the centre is to devote its energy and resources in the social development of the country by way of social services: to make the community conscious of the scientific development and to develop scientific outlook in the various aspects of daily life of the people of the community. In consonance with its mission, the Centre for Extension Education of Radhamadhab College has undertaken various programmes and activities for the just after its establishment. In January 2003, the centre organized an awareness programme on “Health & Sanitation” at nearby slum area and submitted a report to the district administration about health and sanitary condition of that area. A workshop was organized on the month of August 2003 by the Centre on First-Aid knowledge to train the students of the college for the purpose of extending First-Aid knowledge to the people in a meaningful way. As per recommendation of the NAAC Peer Team and to achieve its goal, the Centre for Extension Education has adopted a village with the aim of uplifting the community life of the people, specially helping the women folk of the village for their empowerment in literacy and self-employment. After the adoption, the student members of the centre started imparting education to the rural womenfolk and provided them training on doll-making, decorative pot-making, jute-bag making, cutting, knitting and tailoring etc. The centre organized an exhibition-cum-sale of the products made by the womenfolk of the village in December 2005, to bring the villagers to the forefront, so that they can get an extra-exposure of their self-confidence about their products. As the village has been adopted for five years, the centre is continuing its activities in the village to achieve its desired goal.
