B) The old age home visit : The principal professor and student teachers organized various activities to engage the elderly residents, such as music performances, storytelling sessions, and games. These activities brought smiles to their faces and created a joyful atmosphere in the old age home. During our visit, we also noticed that the old age home had a well-maintained garden where the residents could spend their leisure time. The garden was adorned with colorful flowers and comfortable seating arrangements provided peaceful environment for elderly to relax and enjoy nature. In addition to providing food and entertainment and collecting 150 kg of rice was just the beginning of our college’s best practice to make a positive impact on the lives of the elderly in that area. As we arrived at the location, we were greeted by a sense of anticipation and gratitude from the elderly residents who had been eagerly awaiting our arrival. While the rice was cooking, we engaged in conversations with the elderly individuals, listening attentively to their stories and experiences. Their faces lit up as they shared memories from their youth, imparting wisdom and life lessons that only age can bring. The visit to Matoshri old age home was an eye-opening experience for all of us. It made us realize the importance of taking care of our elders and giving back to society.
