On March 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM, the Department of Social Science and Humanities under the Institute of Management and Commerce organized a few group activities event as part of the Student Development Programme at the quadrangle of the university city campus. The event saw enthusiastic participation from both first and second-year Master of Social Work (MSW) students. Coordinated by Dr. Laveena D'Mello, with support from faculty members including Prof. Joyson Cardoza, Head of Department; Dr. Stutima Basistha; and Prof. Ranjith Bhat, under the guidance of Dr. Venkatesh S.Amin, Dean of IMC, the activities aimed to enhance group cohesion and individual development.
Throughout the event, students engaged in various group tasks presented as games, designed to maintain high group spirit and address common challenges such as stage fright. The vibrant atmosphere, highlighted by spontaneous dancing, fostered a sense of community and unity among the students.
Such group activities are integral to student development, offering numerous benefits:
Enhanced Teamwork and Communication Skills: Participating in group tasks encourages students to collaborate effectively, improving their ability to communicate and work as part of a team.
Increased Self-Esteem and Confidence: Engaging in extracurricular activities has been linked to higher self-esteem, as students accomplish goals and receive recognition for their efforts.
Development of Problem-Solving Abilities: Group activities often present challenges that require collective problem-solving, enhancing critical thinking skills among participants.
Social Integration and Relationship Building: These events provide opportunities for students to form new friendships and strengthen existing ones, contributing to a supportive social environment.
Incorporating such activities into the academic environment not only enriches the student experience but also equips them with essential life skills, preparing them for future professional and personal endeavors.
