AASRA celebrated the foundation day
AASRA of NITR celebrated its foundation day. Registrar of NITR Professor Saroj kumar patel inaugurated the event . AASRA is a social service group which is autonomously run by us, the students of NIT Rourkela, under the mentorship of faculties and a very wide alumni base. We help the weaker sections of society in and around Rourkela, a city in Odisha, and presently work at seven workplaces where we visit regularly and assist poor kids in their education, as the quality of education in their schools is very low. They also implement projects and campaigns to create awareness in communities where we serve with our primary objective: upliftment of the society, both economically and socially. They have been serving the society for more than a decade, and have grown to be a group with hundreds of members on campus reaching out to more than five hundred families.
