Vikalp – a students’ initiative at SMVD University (SMVDU), restarted on campus after a gap of one and a half years due to the Pandemic. Students from classes from pre-KGs to higher secondary, and even college have been a part of Vikalp for many years. Stories from the past are proof of many successful students produced by Vikalp. The volunteers of Vikalp organizes a bunch of major events every year and celebrates many festivals together, and they have made so many propitious memories. Until recently, the student volunteers have decided to shift online and started a YouTube channel for the students. They formed student support, social groups, lent online counselling for kids of Vikalp, other than the pre-existing website. Dr. Madhu Mangal Chaturvedi, Faculty Coordinator, University Social Responsibility & Former Faculty Coordinator, Vikalp, congratulated the team for its stupendous efforts. Shri Nagendra Singh Jamwal, Registrar, SMVDU, extended whole-hearted support to the initiative.
