Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)

Vision:

Our vision is to create a society where students get aware of their social responsibility and actively contribute to making a positive impact on the world around them. We strive to create a community where students are committed to social justice, sustainability, and ethical practices, and where their actions inspire others to do the same.

Motive:

Our purpose is to foster a sense of social responsibility among students and to empower them to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. We believe that social responsibility is a crucial aspect of being an engaged and informed citizen, and we seek to provide opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills, and values needed to become effective change-makers.

Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to educate students on issues related to social justice, sustainability, and ethical practices, and to provide them with meaningful opportunities for action. We believe that by working together and leveraging our collective resources and talents, we can make a tangible difference in the world around us.

Our purpose is to inspire and challenge students to recognize their capacity to effect positive change, and to cultivate a culture of social responsibility that extends beyond their time as students. We envision a world where every individual takes responsibility for creating a more just and sustainable future, and we believe that by engaging and empowering students, we can help to make that vision a reality.
