Games and fun activities were also incorporated to make the day enjoyable and memorable for the young participants.

Among these were interactive workshops aimed at developing creativity, boosting confidence, and honing skills. In order to make the day interesting and memorable for the young attendees, games and entertaining activities were also included.The interactive session, in which university students engaged with the kids through creative means, was one of the program's main attractions. They covered crucial topics like cooperation, communication, and problem-solving through role-playing, storytelling, and practical exercises. In addition to providing entertainment, these activities aimed to educate the kids and foster critical thinking and teamwork. The university students' kind and personable manner made the kids feel at ease and encouraged them to actively participate.

The games portion had an equally significant effect, encouraging cooperation and physical exercise while bringing the kids joy and excitement.

The university students had the opportunity to deepen their own comprehension of community issues and the value of giving back, while the youngsters acquired new information, abilities, and unforgettable experiences. Students gained a sense of appreciation and accountability from the program, which reaffirmed the importance of using their resources and education to improve society.

Both parties expressed their sincere gratitude as the day came to an end. While the university students thought back on the lessons they had learnt and the profound relationships they had made, the youngsters expressed their gratitude and joy. In addition to praising the participants' passion and commitment, faculty members and CSA officials emphasized the significance of these kinds of activities in fostering connections between the university and the larger community.

This outreach program exemplified the Department of Commerce’s and CSA’s shared commitment to social action and education. By engaging with the children at Jill Parishad School, the department successfully extended its ethos of holistic development beyond the campus, fostering a spirit of inclusivity, empathy, and service. The event not only enriched the lives of the children but also inspired the university students to continue contributing to the betterment of society, reaffirming the university’s mission of shaping socially responsible individuals.
