22

Blood donation is life donation. In order to promote an attitude of blood

donation among the students the Red Ribbon Club and NSS Unit of Nirmala

College has formulated a blood donation register. The register includes the name of

students who are willing to donate blood. To enlist the name of the newly admitted

students of the college the unit organized a blood group identification camp on

28th August 2014 and the blood groups of all 1st year boys were identified and

included in the blood donors list.

Every year our nation requires about 4 crore units of blood. But hardly 40

lakh units of blood are available. As blood cannot be manufactured, it comes only

from generous donors. So, as socially responsible citizens of the nation, it is our

duty to donate blood to the needy. The Red Ribbon Club and NSS Unit of Nirmala

College is keen in promoting a habit of blood donation among the volunteers as

well as other students. As part of generating a consciousness among the students in

this regard, the unit organized a blood donation camp in association with

Regional Blood Transfusion Centre, Aluva on 9th October 2014. Thirty Eight

students donated blood in the camp.

The donors were awarded certificates of appreciation in their respective

classes by the class teachers to appreciate them and to promote the spirit of blood

donation among other students.

The Red Ribbon Club and NSS unit organizes several blood donation camps

throughout the year to generate a serious approach towards blood donation. On

with the HDFC Bank Ltd, Muvattupuzha. The students and the teachers of the

Xavier Board

Xavier Board of Higher Education, Nirmala College Muvattupuzha Unit has

initiated a variety of programmes to bring about a radical change in the mind set of

teachers - a shift in their concept of teaching from a mere profession to a noble

vocation. Xavier Board also initiated many programmes to make the students look

further than their own selves - to give them a deep concern for others.

Conscious effort is made by the College authorities to help the students

identify values that are meaningful to them. On every Friday, the first half an

hour is set apart for Value Education. Topics to be discussed during these period

are prepared before hand and distributed to the teachers-in-charge. These classes,

29

no doubt, offer a good platform for the teachers to inculcate a strong value base in

students. There is annual evaluation of the students to see how the lessons help

them to internalize the values. Awards are given to the toppers.

Under the initiative of Xavier Board unit, the College started, a religious

Annual entitled 'The Campus Light' with insights on morals and spirituality from

teachers and non-teaching staff. The warm approbation received from all quarters

encouraged the College authorities to continue with this publication every year. It

is a humble attempt to ignite a divine spark within the College community. The

8thissue of ‘Campus Light’ was released.

Spiritual Animation Programmes are conducted for students annually. A

three day residential retreat is offered for Christian students and Life Orientation

programmes are conducted for non-Christian students.

Christmas message was given by Rev. Fr. Sotter Peringarappilly, Vicar

Nirmala Matha Church, Muvattupuzha. His Excellency Bishop Sebastian

Edayanthruth delivered a talk for the entire college community to strengthen and

sustain them spiritually.

We also provide noon meals to the poor students of the campus with the

fund pooled from the teachers. Tutorial system helps the teachers to identify the

also who underwent training in counselling from the M.G. University, to help the

students through personal counselling.

student has a mentor, whom the students can approach for academic and personal

counseling. Each student meets his/her mentor, on a one-to-one basis, at least two

times every semester. These are out-of-classroom personal meetings in which the

mentor gets to know the student personally and keeps track of her academic

performance, attendance record, fulfillment of course requirements and so on,

giving guidance when necessary, on matters pertaining to academics. Mentors

offer academic counseling to students, recommend them for remedial coaching, if

necessary, and also meet parents of their mentees to update them on their progress.
