Every year the University honours NSS Units of 8 Colleges, zone-wise with awards for their contribution for Com- munity Development through social ac- tivities.

Under Envi- ronment Project they have made more than 15,000 paper bags to distribute among vendors in college surrounding to reduce the use of Plastic bags.

They have performed a number of street plays on such issues at various places. Vidyalankar Dnyanapeeth Trust has adopted Wadala Station in July 2015. Sub- sequently NSS Volunteers conducted var- ious activities to create awareness about Railway Safety Rules with RPF. Volun- teers have specifically created awareness among commuters about “No Railway Crossing” by standing on platforms with placards four times in a week. In the last three years during special camp period, NSS Volunteers have con- structed around 8 bhandharas in their adopted village, Jhambhurde in Murbad District. They have also conducted activ- ities related to anti – superstition in the same village. The NSS Unit of VSIT has planted 200 plants in last 2 years at dif- ferent locations. Being the leader of NSS unit, I have also been awarded as the “Best NSS Pro- gram Officer” for the year 2016-17. Since my college days, I always had an inclina- tion towards my social duties and respon- sibilities which grew into passion when I joined NSS in 2009 as the Program Officer. I always believed that duties and respon- sibilities can be better fulfilled as a team. NSS has taught me to work compassion- ately and unconditionally because in NSS, it is all about commitment towards ones duties. All my dreams and passion fell into place when I was awarded the “Best NSS Program Officer” which moti- vates me to be extremely humble and thankful to the NSS Unit which taught me to work selflessly and unconditionally for the society of India. Thus I feel this award is an outcome of collective efforts of all the NSS Vol- unteers, teaching & non-teaching staff supporting them as and when required, directly or indirectly. So I truly thank all of them, specifically Harish Noula, Rumeli Sharma, Vinayak Karande, Roh- ini Gaikwad who worked actively as a member of NSS Unit for the last two years. My sincere thanks to our Princi- pal Dr. Rohini Kelkar and the manage- ment for their immense support, guid- ance and motivation. I express my deep gratitude to our Former Principal, Late Dr. Ajit Naik who had placed his trust on me to start NSS unit in our college as a Program Officer in 2009. It is also nec- essary to mention special thanks to Umesh Koyande, Ashwini Koyande, Yashoda Shetty, Sheth Sir, Asif Rama- purwala and Ujwala Sav for their great support in the initial stages of the estab- lishment of VSIT NSS Unit then. — Vijay Maruti Gawde Vice – Principal VSIT Bags Awards for the Best NSS Unit and the Best NSS Program Officer In Mumbai City! V SIT alumnus Nikhilesh Yadav completed an in- credible feat - a solo bike ride across 29 states in In- dia, over 26,000 kilome- ters in 113 days. He had complet- ed his B.Sc. IT in 2010 from Vidy- alankar School of Information Technology, Wadala. He joined police force in 2013. On the occa- sion of V Meet which is organ- ized by the Alumni Committee on 29 July for VSIT Alumni of 2010, the institute welcomed and honoured him for his achieve- ment. Constable Nikhilesh, a native of Khed, is posted at the police headquarters at Worli. Passion- ate about bikes and travelling, he recently returned to the city after visiting 29 states on his modified bike, bringing back with him beautiful memories of the rich diversity of India. Since his childhood, he has been an ar- dent lover of bikes and started going on biking expeditions. The dream was to experience first-hand the diverse cultures of various regions in India. He had grown up reading and hearing about unity in diversity and has always been curious to explore it himself. After six months of planning, during which he con- sulted friends and fellow bike en- thusiasts all over the country, he mapped out a schedule. He left from Mumbai on January 21, 2017 on his Royal Enfield with nothing but a backpack contain- ing essentials. He first visited to Gujarat, and then Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, visit- ing wild life sanctuaries, local tourist destinations and holy places in the states. In all the states people wel- comed and helped him. It’s in- teresting to know that through- out his trip, he slept most of the time in temples, in an old-age home and some places where the police provided accommoda- tion to stay. He reached Manipur during the Holi festival and en- joyed it. At night, fires were lit and the people danced around it as a part of traditional folk dance, called as Thabal Chong- ba. Another unforgettable mo- ment was Ganga Aarti in Harid- war. He proceeded to the south through east India, visiting Kol- kata and Orissa before reaching Visakhapatnam and then tour- ing Chennai, Bengaluru and Kanyakumari. In those 113 days, he experienced diverse sights, cultures and climates. He re- turned home to a warm wel- come from family and friends and said that it was his most memorable experience till date. Vidyalankar wishes Nikhilesh bon voyage! VSIT Alumnus Nikhilesh Yadav blazes a trail across India on his motorbike

THE LAB SCHOOL AT THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION (EA)
The School of Education maintains a Lab School (Escola de Aplicação) that was annexed to the CRPE building in the 1960’s. Nowadays, it offers education for a diverse community of 728 children and adolescents, from elementary through secondary school.
At the Lab School, internship and research projects can be developed by students and professors from the School of Education and from other institutes at the University of São Paulo. Moreover, the Lab School at the School of Education makes it possible for researchers to get in touch with several Lab Schools maintained by other Brazilian public universities.
The programs for Elementary and Secondary Education are similar to other public schools, but EA offers three foreign languages (French, Spanish and English) and also Philosophy for High School. Students participate in projects developed by different areas of knowledge (Portuguese, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Foreign Languages, Art and Physical Education). There are also Field Trips with students, as well as extracurricular activities in periods before/after school, with the participation of teachers, trainees, students of Pedagogy and other Undergraduate courses of USP, coordinated by the school staff and graduate students, supervised by the School Management Team.
