Community Outreach Program @ DCM
“AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE”
We envision a society based on the principles of equality and equity. We strive to instill a sense of belongingness and social responsibility in our students. Community Outreach Programs @ DCM are guided by our strong sense of social responsibility and commitment to give back to the society what we have received from it. DCM Group is a staunch believer in the prowess of an educated mind and the impact it creates on the society.
Community Outreach activities and projects develop leadership, resilience, empathy and service-mindedness in our students. The Community outreach program at DCM Group of Schools involve organizing awareness campaigns, visits to old age homes, orphanages, home for the blind, eco-sustainability drives etc. Our students learn early on the importance of developing the spirit of giving back to society and reaching out to theless privileged and marginalized. DCMites regularly associate with NGOs, charities, social workers and causes, to make a difference in the society.
