Hindi Diwas or the Hindi Day

Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India. It is almost spoken in every single part of the country. People use this language also to trade or business. To acquaint people about all the information about the language, we the CAS student decided to present an assembly before the school about the Hindi Day or the Hindi Diwas. We planned a proper format of the assembly and divided work amongst ourselves. We decided, as the assembly is being done on the occasion of Hindi Day, why not present the complete assembly is front of the school in the same language. We took help from our Hindi teacher to complete the assembly as we were in a need of expert guidance. We finalized the format of the assembly and presented a practice in front of the Hindi teacher so that she will help us with few things such as the corrections in the language being used and what all additions can be made. After all the corrections and additions we presented the assembly in front of the whole school and everyone was really impressed of our work and our Hindi teacher was happy that her language has being recognized.  


Hindi is a standardised and sanskritised register of the Hindustani language. Hindustani is the native language of most people living in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Modern Standard Hindi is one of the official languages of India. As of 2009, the best figure Ethnologue could find for speakers of actual Hindustani Hindi was 180 million in 1991. In the 2001 Indian census, 258 million (258,000,000) people in India reported Hindi to be their native language. However, this number included millions of people who were native speakers of related languages but who thought of their speech as a dialect of Hindi.

Volunteering at medical camp

I am not biology or any medical student, as I undertook this activity. It is just that I like providing a helping hand to people. I love to help people because it gives me immense pleasure and happiness when the other people are happy. As planned we were going to provide our help as volunteers at a local medical check up camp organized by the Nagarjuna Medical Trust, at a local society in the city. Mrs. Preeti Mesharam, one of the doctors in the medical camp is a specialized eye surgeon. I was given the duty along with my classmate Shafqat, to provide a helping hand to Mrs. Preeti Mesharam at the point where she had been performing the eye checkups. Different doctors were allotted different rooms to perform their checkups. 
                    
                The check up was conducted by the trust for the residents of the society and was free of cost. We had to assemble all the people who were coming for the check up according to their form number and name outside the check up room and call them one by one whenever their form arrives. Many a times people were getting annoyed by the delay that was happening as there were a lot of people who had come for the check up and it was getting difficult to handle so many people at a time by just the two of us. For our help we called our friend stanis as he was done with his volunteering and was ready to help. Through this activity we learnt a lot of new things and we reflected on many of the CAS learning outcomes that we need do during the CAS program. The learning outcomes I achieved through this activity included working collaboratively with others, showing perseverance and commitment on the activity and also engaging with a social and issue of global importance.
A Certificate we received from the Nagarjuna Medical trust for the activity we undertook
