SUPW WORKSHOP - 24, 25 January, 2023

                 SUPW WORKSHOP

Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW) is a purposive productive work and services related to the needs of the child and the community, which will be proved meaningful to the learner. Such work must not be performed mechanically but must include planning, analysis and detailed preparation, at every stage so that it is educational. Adoption of improved tools and materials, where available and the adoption of modern techniques will lead to an appreciation of the needs of a progressive society based on technology." Students learn to work as a team, with skill and deftness. It was introduced in 1978, by the Ministry of Education to promote Gandhian values and educational ideas of Mahatma Gandhi.

As suggested by the B.Ed curriculum, Government College of Teacher Education, Thycaud, Trivandrum, had organised a two day SUPW workshop for the I B.Ed students. Sukumaran Sir and Ummar Sir led the workshop.

The products made on Day 1 were lotion and detergent powder. Proper instructions were given by the resource persons. The student teachers were offered a hands on experience of making these daily useful products.

On the Day 2, soap making was taught to us. Also, they talked at length about the various Gandhian principles, and offered a meditative session for us. Mr. Krishna Kumar, Ms. Keerthana Anil, and Program coordinator Dr. Jayakrishna Ma'am shared their reflections. Mr. Amal delivered the vote of thanks and the programme concluded with national anthem.
