Case Work-1

Sowmya 11 year old student studying in class 6 of Government High

School, Medavakkam was a good studying student. She was lacking inEnglish and Math subjects. She preferred to take private tuition to

improve herself in these subjects.

Given her weak financial situation parents were not able to afford for her

tuition. This made Sowmya loose her confidence and interest in her

studies. Given this she scored very low marks in her Quarterly exam.

I met the girl in school through her class teacher and encouraged her and

arranged for special class with the respective subject teachers itself in

which she was given special attention in her weak areas. This improved

the girls confidence and she improved in her weak subjects and scored

good marks in her half yearly exam.

Raja is a 12 year old student studying in class 7 of Government High

School, Medavakkam. Raja is a bright student who is good at his

academics. His father is a drunkard and does not provide any financial

support to his family. His mothers income is not sufficient to run the

family. Looking at the weak financial situation and the struggle that his

mother undergoes to run the family Raja lost interest in his studies and

decides to go for work in a car shed.

I met the boy through his school teacher. I counseled the boy by

highlighting the importance of education and encouraged him to continue

his studies. The counselor also met Rajas mother and provided awareness

of re-habitation centre for her husband to get out of the drinking habit.

Raja understood the importance of education and started pursuing his

Medavakkam. Roja is a bright student who is good at her academics. She lost

her mother recently. Since there was nobody to take care of her siblings her

grandparents forced her to stop her education so that she could take care of

them.

I through Rojas class teacher met Rojas father and made him understand

about the importance of Rojas education. I also suggested few hostels where

Roja and her siblings could join and continue their education so that they will

not be a burden for her grandparents.

Rojas father understood the importance of education and allowed Roja and

her siblings to continue their education from government hostel. I also did

weekly follow ups with Rojas class teacher and ensured that Roja was regular

SUGGESTIONS

A suggestion is a proposal offered for acceptance or rejection. Suggestion

refers idea or plan that you mention for somebody to think about.

As a CSR measure Steria can consider students difficulty without proper lab

facility and can steps to set up a proper lab.

Considering the non-availability of library facility in the school, which is a

mandatory requirement Steria can consider setting up a library facility.

An orientation program would make the parents aware of the Steria activities

in the school

Special classes on social behavior would help the students to make changes in

their lives

It would be good to have an interaction session between Steria volunteers and

teachers of the school

Special classes on important subjects would help the students to score good

marks in the examinations.

It would be better to make all the students to participate in the

extracurricular activities
