Gandhimavu Digital Challenge

Posted 4 years ago       Comments

Offering a helping hand to students who are struggling to access online classes, old students association (OSA) of UC College, Aluva, has started a campaign called ‘Gandhimavu digital challenge’. The campaign aims to donate digital gadgets to more than 200 needy students in the college who were selected through a survey.
A cheque for Rs.3 lakh was handed over to college principal David Saj Mathew by the OSA vice-president Ayub Khan on Wednesday.

The campaign was started by OSA as a tribute to the college which will turn 100 next year. The campaign was named after a 95-year-old mango tree on the campus named Gandhimavu, as it was planted by Mahatma Gandhi during his visit to the college in 1925. The college plans to organise elaborate celebrations for the centenary from January 2021.

“The campaign also aims to provide 15 laptops to postgraduate students and deserving students can take the laptops home for completing project work. The campaign also plans to set up an advanced digital studio on the campus. Funds were also collected to offer free internet packs to those students who don’t have the money to do it for ensuring online education up to one year. OSA’s Kuwait chapter has already offered help for the purpose,” said the principal.
