Humanity At Its Topmost Pedestal

A group of benevolent people proved to be good samaritans by participating in a blood donation camp organized in the STES Vadgaon campus. The camp was organized by ‘Kshitij’, the official social service group of Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune, under the able guidance of Professor Dr. Mrs. Veena Doss. A whooping number of about a hundred turned up to donate the ‘royal elixir’ at the Sinhgad Dental College Seminar Hall. After a brief inauguration function by the chief guests of the function, the camp opened its doors for donors between 9.30 am to 2 pm. It immediately experienced a huge sea of humanity, in the guise of enthusiastic donors wanting to give their humble yet prominent share in saving a life. It is so well said - 'You need not be a doctor to save lives; donate blood, grant a needy his fair share of life!' About 23 volunteers of ‘Kshitij’ and 10 doctors reportedly present had taken the onus of the camp. The blood collected will be forwarded to Shrimati Kashibai Navale General Hospital, Narhe. The donors were thoroughly checked before donating blood, and the healthy ones were allowed to donate. Later, they were given refreshments to help them regain their strength.

‘Kshitij’ , with the co-operation of SKN General Hospital, has done a great job in organizing such events that promote a social message. The oomph and benevolence that they have put in their work is worth many accolades!

Kudos the the students of S.C.O.E.

The anticipation on their faces was evident by late afternoon, and as the day ended almost every household of the students of S.C.O.E. was in high spirits, for their wards had fared remarkably well in the Pune University examination conducted last year. Minutes before the results were out, you could sense an air of anxiety, but a couple of minutes later, there were people who had festooned S.C.O.E. with pride once again by performing exceptionally well at the University and the departmental level. They undoubtedly deserve a huge applause!

The college had a plethora of reasons to celebrate, for the students of S.E and T.E had gifted them with great scores. They had to juggle extra-curricular activities along with their regular curriculum, as the second semester was full of activities - Excelsior and Sinhgad Karandak to name a few - that had set all departments on the roll.

The students below are the toppers from each of the departments:
