In an effort to support students with special needs and promote inclusivity, the NSS 240 Unit of Assabah Arts and Science College, Valayamkulam, took the initiative to donate a smart phone to an autism-affected student. The donation aimed to assist the student in improving his educational experience and communication skills. The amount for the phone was generously contributed by the volunteers of the NSS unit.

The donation was made possible through the combined efforts of NSS volunteers, who contributed funds to purchase a smart phone for the student. The phone will serve as a tool to help the student with learning, communication, and accessing educational resources that are often helpful for children with autism.

On the day of the donation, the student’s mother came to collect the smart phone. The handover took place in the presence of Dr. Harikrishnan, the Head of the Department of English, who played a key role in facilitating the donation process. The event was a heart-warming occasion, highlighting the college’s commitment to supporting students with special needs. The primary objective of this donation was to provide the student with a tool that would assist him in his learning journey. Smart phones can play a significant role in educational development for children with autism by providing access to specialized apps and communication tools. This initiative also aimed to promote empathy and social responsibility among the volunteers of NSS.

The donation of the smart phone was well-received by the student’s family. The mother expressed her gratitude for the support shown by the NSS unit and the volunteers. The student will now be able to use the device to engage in educational activities, improving his communication and learning abilities.

The event was a testament to the spirit of community and service, as the NSS unit demonstrated a deep commitment to helping students overcome challenges through the use of technology.

The donation of the smart phone to the autism-affected student by the NSS 240 Unit was a successful and meaningful initiative. It reflected the college’s dedication to supporting its students, especially those with special needs, and fostering an inclusive learning environment. The contribution of the NSS volunteers not only provided practical assistance but also showcased the importance of empathy and collective effort in making a positive impact in the community.
