The finding suggests that community members were inclined towards the cleanliness
programme and desired maintain continuity of activities conducted by MIM. The camp was
a huge learning experience for all the students. The objectives that were laid down for the camp
were by and large met. The most important benefit of the camp was that the students learnt to
work as a team. The food, weather and surroundings were different and the students interacted
extremely well with the local community as well as adjusted admirably to the rural setting. The
students did a commendable job in mobilizing the community and the huge turnout of people
that attended the programs bears testimony to this fact. During one of the programs, the students
spread awareness about health and hygiene. The students also interacted with the children of the
activity centers and played several games with them. This camp was a very good occasion for the
students to exercise their social work principles and skills and the students benefitted immensely
by the experience. Dr. D.Nisar Ahamed, Director , Measi Institute of Management applauded
