Introduction
Introduction In the new academic year 2013-2014, NSS IIT Delhi set out to create a paradigm shift. A shift from its
perception just as a curriculum requirement, to that of a large family of enthusiastic volunteers who feel
a sense of belonging for this organization. This year, we enrolled a record 523 number of freshmen in
NSS, and are constantly working hard to absorb them in our activities. In the first semester, not only did
we collaborate with old and new NGOs for creating volunteering opportunities, but we initiated various
projects of our own. The Bhatti Mines project, Munirka project & Mess Workers’ project were
refurbished and the initiative against substance abuse was flagged off. With the aim of creating long-
term and self-sustainable models on the campus, the Bicycle Sharing system and paper reuse policies
were visualized realistically for the first time. Another objective in focus this semester was of social
technical innovation; to tap the technological potential of IIT students at solving social problems, like
developing solar lighting for slums.
The Safe Hands smartphone app developed by Stree and NSS won the prestigious Nina Saxena
Excellence in Technology Award instituted by IIT Kharagpur. NSS spread its reach further by a strong
online presence. We organized a plethora of online campaigns and activities: Organ Donation campaign,
celebrating International Day of the Girl Child and World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, et al. This
semester, efforts were also made at standardizing various NSS projects, like development of a central
curriculum repository for teaching projects and a database of social awareness tools like posters, videos,
articles and documents.
Besides the usual volunteering opportunities, we organized workshops like the Liter of Light workshop
for solar lighting, panel discussions like Freedom Caravan: Why is India poor and screening of various
movies. We organized an urban exposure trip and a trip to Surajpur Wetlands. We also undertook
qualitative survey work on women safety in campus (for Stree), smoking habits survey and an energy
audit survey of the whole campus, which have all rendered useful results being used in our initiatives.
This time, we tried newer methods to connect with our volunteers. Our blog was redesigned, and the
outreach of our Facebook page increased twofold in just a month. We started the SMS channel and
created the NSS app (currently under beta testing), so that volunteers are regularly informed about our
activities and events. Continuing with our green efforts and reducing use of physical posters, we
encouraged installation of whiteboards in the academic area for making event announcements.
In conclusion, it would be right to say that NSS IIT Delhi has expanded in all directions this semester.
We have taken care of mass opinions and encouraged higher involvement of permanent volunteers in our
projects. Although we still fall short of our target of generating 40,000 hours each year, our primary
focus remains on achieving this feat, very soon.

NSS Initiatives
Initiative Against Substance Abuse Overview Smoking, alcoholism and substance abuse are common (and unfortunately shrugged-under-the-carpet) among the students at IIT Delhi. This initiative seeks to facilitate students to accept, get away and keep away from the same.
Goals Achieved ● After background research on substance abuse, 3 trips were organized to various de-addiction and
rehabilitation centers in Delhi ● Posters prepared and put up in various hostels with anonymous helpline numbers ● A Smoking Habits Survey undertaken in October ● 11 students who needed help identified by means of the survey were brought in touch with the

with only interested workers ● Regularize teaching by dividing mess workers into groups assigned to a volunteer ● Involvement of administration to add to the reliability factor ● Few workers are registered under National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), so next sem we will
be following their schedule

NSS Initiatives
Munirka Teaching Project
Overview To provide help to kids of Munirka, but by instilling in them love for education. Extra-curricular activities are organized from time to time to appreciate & enhance the talent of these kids.
Goals Achieved ● Continuous volunteering ensured during the semester on weekends ● Increased the number of kids to 25 ● Improved community interaction and gained their trust to some extent ● Organized painting, origami, rakhi making sessions etc. and a cleanliness & plantation drive

temperament of kids ● Many kids going to paid tuitions
directly affects our importance
The Way Ahead ● Regularize teaching by dividing kids
into groups assigning each a volunteer ● Planning activity based learning
Solar Lighting Project Overview This project has been inspired by the Liter of Light project that started in Philippines. We started with the objective of creating Solar Light Bulbs, by using 2 liter PET bottles, purified water and bleaching powder that work equivalent to a 50W bulb during daytime, and are inserted in holes drilled in corrugated tin roofs.
Goals Achieved ● Prototype Development: Over the last summers, a
prototype was constructed after various experiments; testing for different levels and concentrations of bleach solution.
● SolarLite Workshop: A workshop was conducted for volunteers, in association with Liter of Light, India and My Shelter Foundation. The idea was demonstrated and a number of models were made.
● Implementation in Munirka slums: Prototypes were installed in three different homes in Munirka. The installation received a great response with other residents raring to get solar bulbs installed in their homes as well.
The Way Ahead The installation on thatched and cement roofs didn’t work due to leakage problems. We plan to
work only on tin roofs from now on. Since tin roofs aren’t much used these days, we are now designing solar lanterns that wouldn’t
require drilling holes in the roof.
