EXTENSION PROGRAMME

Community outreach visit to Makkala Dhama Orphanage

 On 30th October 2025, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering
( Data Science) organised a community outreach visit to Makkala Dhama Orphanage, located in Bettakote. The visit aimed to extend care and support to the children of the orphanage while providing students an opportunity to engage meaningfully with the community and understand the importance of social responsibility. 

A donation drive was held on campus where students voluntarily contributed funds for the cause. The collected amount was accounted for and used to purchase essential groceries. Faculty and students personally delivered the items and engaged with the children. The interaction sessions fostered emotional support and created a warm, encouraging atmosphere. Groceries like rice, pulses, cooking oil, snacks, and other essentials were handed over to the orphanage authorities. Students also participated in informal activities and conversations with the children, deepening their understanding of empathy and gratitude. 

The orphanage staff shared insights on childcare and the challenges faced by such institutions. The experience left a lasting impact, inspiring students to continue contributing to society through future outreach programs.
