1. Summer Internship Programme,
In CSR Department, L&T Power
TrainingPeriod: 1st
May to 31st
May
Venue: Larsen & Toubro,
Knowledge City,
Vadodara- 390019
May 2015, has been extremely productive in a proficient way as it has been the first step in the
highly professional working sector. Being a Student of Masters in Social Work (MSW) - a
professional degree, getting training in a vastly reputed organization under highly qualified
Supervisors namely Dr. Namita Gopal and Mr. Sanjiv Trivedi has been exceptionally significant
in my academic prospects.
The following role has been played in the activities undertaken during the training:
1.) Event: Volunteering Orientation
An event on Volunteering Orientation, held on 27th April 2015 helped me to understand about
‘Managing the Event.’ From the start till the end, everything had a hint of learning something
new. Being the announcer at the event, it instilled a lot of confidence and knowledge on the
initiatives of CSR by L&T. The event gave a good acquaintance about managing the things with
the other colleagues and getting the work done collectively. Overall, the event was a good
start-up exposure for the initial mark.
2.) Project: Humanity
Working on this valued concept of Volunteering teaching to the slum dwellers, flyover
migrants and other under-privilege people gave a very different outlook. Making modules
for the target audience, creating Outlook group and coordinating with the fellow mates
made the work quite more interesting. A good amount of knowledge had been shared

2. between all volunteers where a lot of new learning and different ideas were innovated to
run the project.
3.) Project: Under Skill Building Programme, ‘Cutting and Tailoring Course’
Starting this project of Cutting and Tailoring Course in Khatamba Village gave an
immense exposure in the Community field. This project essentially helped to apply all the
theory that has been covered in the Social Work Course. The pedagogy of Paulo Freire
made more sense to me after practically applying it on the field. Principles of Community
Development, linking people with resources, Principle of Conscientization and other
basic requisites like rapport building, fact finding, knowing the people, dealing with the
odds etc. helped me to start this project. This particular project actually made me relate to
the theory of MSW Course.
Along with the three main projects, the other administrative work like designing a
medical kit, quotations from different medical shops, designing stationary kit, quotations
from different stationary shops, talking to various school principals and knowing about
number of students and the subjects per standards, knowing about IndiaCSR initiatives
and its awards, designing the banners for The Skill Building Course and Volunteering
Teaching etc. helped to gain a very good amount of coverage at a competent level. Even
the ‘Mobile Medical Van’ and ‘Science on Wheels’ gave a good knowledge on OPD
functioning and Science modules, respectively.
Summing up, the basic motive behind taking up the voluntary training in the summer
break was to gain practical knowledge in the area of interest – CSR. I believe, the training
imparted has done a full justice and I am absolutely contented with the quality of work
rendered. Along with the Supervisors, Dr. Namita Gopal and Mr. Sanjiv Trivedi, the
other colleagues as well as the office boys had been extremely courteous and helpful.
Again, thank you for your efforts to encourage and increase my knowledge and skill at a
professional level. Looking forward to keep in touch!!!
