Community Service
Family Counselling Centre, Volunteer/Coordinator, India, 2010, Present, Opportunity for carrying out the community service in India is a rare thing as the educational system has primarily been designed around academic knowledge. It is only in the recent times that we follow a syncretic approach to combine educational curriculum with community services or environmental concerns. As per the new guidelines laid out by the National Assessment and Accreditation Cell (NAAC) which is a prestigious agency instituted by UGC to evaluate Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) and grades them on the contemporary relevant criteria such as community/environmental/gender concerns among many others. Unfortunately, I was never formally introduced to the concept of community service. But, I had strong propensities to work for the people and their concerns. When I joined college as assistant professor in Satyawati College, it has had a centre for Gender concerns in 2009. It used to be called as Women Development Centre (WDC), then. I immediately joined the Women Development centre, which was a voluntary organisation to help students dealing with varied problems. After few years, the centre was rechristened and named as Family Counselling Centre (FCC). It caters to the need of all the individuals of the college- be it teaching faculty, non-teaching, or assistant staff. We have an expert counsellor who professionally deal with stress, discrimination, mental health issues of the people who voluntarily approach her. I as one of the coordinators of the centre organise many activities that help students debate, discuss, and open up. On certain occasions students also win prize. We do maintain a well-equipped library catering to diverse issues of women question, environmental concerns, mental health etc. We invite renowned speakers across the Universities to deliver their talks on relevant issues. Through this centre, I am sure we have touched upon many students’ lives and have helped them understand their positions of formative years. These students undergo peer pressures, career challenges, relationships issues and family complex dynamics. By conducting various workshops and organising seminars around such pressures we provide them opportunity to open up and share their views with us. It’s has been over a decade of association with the Centre and we (Ms. Anita Samkaria, Associate Professor is also one of the WDC coordinators with me) have had held innumerable workshops, seminars, creative writing competitions, talks, legal advices and competitions to shape the perceptions of young generation. Our centre is recognised by the Delhi Social Welfare Board (DSW) and we get a nominal grant every year to keep a counsellor for students and to carry out various activities throughout the year. During the times of pandemic the students from the far flung areas were anxious about their career and also in their relationships with friends and family. We have held online counselling sessions for them. For more than ten years, I am working as a coordinator with the centre and that has now become an integral the part of my life. I with the help of another coordinator run the centre. This is a volunteer job without any monetary benefit but it gives me immense satisfaction. I look forward to remain part of FCC for rest of my life.

DISSERTATION
- PhD (2019) “Self and Society: A Study of Hindi Dalit Autobiographies.” The thesis explores the idea of hierarchical Indian social system placing the men at the centre using the agency of personal narratives and autobiographical narratives. It also looks at the silence of women counterparts and their deprivation of opportunities on all accounts.
- M.Phil (2008) “To Signify that I desired my Liberty: Swift and [Anti]Colonial Times.” The M.Phil. dissertation looks at the works of eighteen century writer Jonathan Swift from 1720-1729. I primarily looked at his work Gulliver Travels and his pamphlet A Modest Proposal and tried to tangibly establish the difference in his approach towards the identity politics and shift his propensity to identify more with Irish cause in his later works.
