Society Activities
Project Rachna
Established in 2014, Project Rachna by Enactus Gargi empowers underprivileged and specially-abled women by training them in various domains, enabling them to transform post-consumer textile waste into marketable products. This initiative promotes sustainability and fosters economic independence through entrepreneurship, resulting in the creation of over 100 micro-enterprises and steady job opportunities. Project Rachna has trained more than 150
women, significantly impacting their lives and communities. This project highlights the transformative power of education, resourcefulness, and sustainability. The project’s recent
initiatives include setting up revenue-generating stalls at various colleges and corporate offices, organizing entrepreneurial competitions, and interactive craft workshops to foster creativity among students. As the project evolves, plans include finding alternatives to plastics, rebranding products, and establishing a skill training center to further expand its reach and impact.
Project Aagah
Project Aagah, launched in 2018, champions the education and empowerment of underprivileged children through its fellowship program. This initiative equips students with
21st-century skills, fostering social responsibility and entrepreneurship. Since its inception, Project Aagah has reached over 2,000 children. The project goes beyond traditional academics by focusing on critical areas such as personality development, financial literacy, verbal language skills, and entrepreneurship. This holistic approach prepares students for successful careers, increasing their earning potential and contributing to a brighter future. The
project’s recent initiatives include sustaining the Fellowship Program, organizing insightful ViMet sessions and mental health mixers with students across colleges, conducting
entrepreneurial competitions, and organizing craft workshops. By fostering self-belief and the ability to navigate life's challenges, Project Aagah ensures that underprivileged students can advocate for themselves and their families. The program's tailored training methods and engaging activities ensure inclusivity and maximize impact.
Project Neev
Project Neev, established in 2019, is a sustainability initiative weaving a tapestry of a greener tomorrow. The project’s initiatives include crafting beautiful terracotta candles using soy wax, a natural and biodegradable option compared to traditional paraffin wax. Project Neev aims to advocate for replacing single-use plastics with reusable and sustainable items. However, Project Neev's impact goes beyond products. We actively engage with schools and NGOs, conducting educational drives that empower young minds. Through interactive workshops, the team strives to equip them with the knowledge and tools to understand waste management and its importance. The project’s recent initiatives include conducting impactful and educational school drives, competitions, and interactive pottery sessions. Project Neev
aims to educate the youth about the detrimental effects of plastic pollution and inspire them to make sustainable choices in their daily lives.
Project Vikas
Project Vikas by Enactus Gargi is an initiative launched in 2020 to bridge the gap between employers and job-seeking students. Initially focused on adapting to the digital world during the pandemic, it now serves as a hub for skill development, resume building, and providing internship and job opportunities to students. It branched out into new territory, in an effort to uplift underprivileged youth and help them take the first step on their career ladder by launching its Resume Service. In this competitive market, the key objective of Project Vikas has been to provide these services at an affordable, bargained price to members of our Society who cannot afford the costly services usually available. The project’s recent initiatives include conducting various career workshops, resume building sessions, collaborations with schools to inculcate essential life skills, insightful competitions, and organizing an Entrepreneurial Showcase for the budding entrepreneurs of Gargi College. Project Vikas is set to grow even further by sustaining and growing its offline presence, aimed at providing hands on learning experiences, aligning with the project's core motive of
empowering students and youth to succeed in an increasingly competitive job market.
