Welcome to new academic session 2014 - 2015!

Welcome all freshers in our beautiful IIT Kharagpur campus! Extra Academic Activity (EAA) is a four semester long program where participation is mandatory for each UG student in first two years. About thirty faculty members will be directly associated with us in our weekly activities. It is not only fun, it also helps in developing bonding outside classroom environment, develop ability to work in a team and leadership qualities and last but not the least - inculcate healthy practices for healthy living.

One of the mandate of this NSO Health and Fitness program is to develop awareness among ourselves and in the community on healthy living by conducting workshops, awareness rallies, skits / nukkaads (street-play), poster making, short video making, newsletter publishing etc. Other than regular field activities, each member of the team is expected to participate in at least one of the special activities and make an impact.

Compared to other EAA activities of IIT Kharagpur, we are relatively young. We are only 1.5 years old! However, the earlier posts of this blog will show that enthusiastic members of this 900 strong team has already made a mark. In terms of our strength, we are only next to NSS (Link) that has 1000 members. These days, employers give lot of importance to Exta Academic engagements and skills acquired to weigh one's employability. Inter-personal and social skills are the mark of one's personality. Thus, the EAA experience is rewarding beyond EAA tenure of four semesters as it helps in making better individuals of us, by making us physically and mentally fit. Let us make the most of this opportunity.

We expect that the new session 2014 - 2015 will be even more fun and we shall reach more milestones in this session. We commence our field activity with enrolled 2nd year students on 19-7-2014 (SAT), 6:00 AM at Jnan Ghosh Stadium. The first year students are to join us next week (26-7-2014) after their formal allocation to different EAA programs.

The new academic session starts with another new. Prof. Sudipta Mukhopadhyaya (Link) is the new Program Coordinator of this program from this session. A new faculty member will join us soon as new Program Officer.
