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.
