Sell-on Activity

Vivekanand Education Society’s Institute of Management Studies & Research in collaboration with Seva Sahayog Foundation (SSF) undertakes this activity with first-year students to support the distribution of school kits to underprivileged children. This initiative aimed to not only enhance their sales and communication skills but also instill a sense of responsibility toward societal upliftment.

Seva Sahayog Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to bridge the gap between resources and communities in need, aligning its mission with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and India’s NITI Aayog. The school kit initiative ensures that children from marginalized communities are equipped with the basic tools necessary for their academic journey.

Our students actively participate in selling school kits to raise funds for this noble cause. Through this activity, they learned valuable lessons in sales strategy, teamwork, and customer engagement while contributing to a larger societal mission. By engaging with potential buyers, the students had to articulate the importance of education and how their contributions could make a tangible difference in the lives of underprivileged children.

This experience sensitized students to the challenges faced by disadvantaged communities and the role they could play in fostering change.

Sell-on 2025 total fundraising was ₹652800 by the batch of 2024-26.

“The main aim of education should be to develop character, mental strength, and a spirit of philanthropy.”

4th session, was a panel discussion on “Understanding India: One Nation, One Culture, One People” involving five students from Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Maharashtra. They talked about SEIL (Student Experience in Inter-State Living), an organization founded in 1965 by members of ABVP to promote brotherhood among youths from Northeast India and the rest of the country. Northeast, a land of beauty and culture, is somehow alienated from the rest of India in many terms. SEIL conducts annual study tours and cultural exchange programs as an attempt to bring together the Northeastern region with Central India. It has always been heard that first-hand experience is one of the best teachers and this session highlighted learning through traveling, food, culture, religion, and how these experiences enhance the views and thoughts and shape the minds of young individuals.

Pranav Vasishtha defined language and culture, while Shri. Sampadananda Mishra emphasized that language is not just a means of communication. Bhasha and Sanskriti, language and culture are what defines humans in many ways. A man with no ties to Bhasha and Sanskruti is not an accomplished man as he is not close to his roots and may have no depth of character which may lead to superficial understanding of the world. This session emphasized the need and importance of Bhasha and Sanskruti and how they can help one in character building and spiritual connection which in turn can result in work life balance and excellence. This session was a boon in disguise which narrated and outlined the need of cultural roots, spiritual connect, in amalgamation with modern ideology and technology leading to accomplished individuals.

Santosh ji, being such a dynamic personality impacted everyone in the session and talked of past and present India with focus on future scope and growth of India. Politically correct practices and government support is what takes a country forward and helps it strive in the competitive world.

The last session of the day was of Shri Anand Kumar, Padmashree Award winner in Mathematics Education & best known for his Super 30 program. Math and numbers are something that most people are afraid of, but what if someone can replace the fear with admiration for numbers. This is exactly what our panelist Shri Anand Kumar ji has been doing over the years while helping people in numbers. This session being an interactive one indulged the interest of all the attending students and teachers alike helping them to clarify their queries while understanding the mindset of a Padmashree who very well motivated all to chase their dreams whilst specifying and pointing out characteristic achiever mindset and habits.
