report

The Department of Psychology organized a community outreach programme titled Real Inclusion in Action at Nandhavanam Girls Home, Kolathur on 13th August 2025. Faculty members and students actively participated by donating essential items such as dresses, charts, notebooks, and snacks, thereby addressing both the material and educational needs of the children. The initiative placed equal emphasis on emotional well-being and psychological engagement.

The programme included an interactive workshop that encouraged the children to express their emotions through creative modalities such as art, storytelling, and dance. These activities were carefully chosen for their therapeutic value, enabling the children to externalize feelings, enhance self-expression, and develop interpersonal bonds in a safe and supportive environment. 

Respect. Protect. Connect: A Day with the Elderly

report

On June 12, 2025, a group of CTTE Psychology students stepped into the gates of Aruwe Old Age Home in Ayanavaram—not just to visit, but to listen, learn, and connect.
What began as a community outreach activity quickly became something more personal. The elderly residents, full of grace and quiet strength, welcomed the students not with formality, but with stories.
Students now found themselves learning life lessons from people who had truly lived.
Each conversation was a reminder that ageing is not just about growing old—it’s about being seen, heard, and valued. The students offered their time, a few essential supplies, and a listening ear. But what they received in return—wisdom, warmth, and perspective—was far more lasting.
This wasn’t a lecture or a classroom lesson. It was a quiet call to responsibility: to respect the dignity of the elderly, to protect their rights, and to stay connected across generations.
And when the students walked back out through the gates, the world hadn’t changed—but they had.
