24.Damage assessment volunteers


Thirty-one students of the college, accompanied two teachers to Cherpu Panchayat, Thrissur, as part of the programme of the Government of Kerala, inviting student volunteers to assist the local bodies in assessment of houses damaged during the recent flood. The  students registered their names  and became a part of the  team volunteering in the  ‘Rebuild Kerala’ mission.

On arrival at the office of Cherpu Panchayat, the volunteers were briefed on how to use the ‘Rebuild Kerala’ App for flood damage assessment, prepared by the Kerala State IT Mission.

Once the App was registered, the students were each assigned houses in different wards of Cherpu Panchayat.  They were then accompanied by Ward Members or local residents  to the  houses where damage assessment had to be undertaken.

The  volunteers met the house owners/residents, collected details,  made an assessment of the damage of the  house, took snaps of the damage, geo tagged them and uploaded the assessment details.

A few volunteers completed the work on the same day the work was assigned (Saturday, 15 September 2018) and a few others had to  continue the work the following day too…

The  students who volunteered  in the  work  had a sense of fulfilment of having  joined hands in the  effort to rebuild their own  homeland.
