“Giving Back to Society”

Our institution shows gratitude towards society by holding distinct activities as follows:

      

FM Radio, A Community Radio:

Community Radio Centre, known as FM Radio Mast 90.4 was established in July 20,2011 and ran a touching signature tune in the 30 km circle in Malegaon. It was as if a miracle in the city when here in a taluka level place where no radio centers were available, the community Radio Centre came into being. And in the long run of these 12 years, it has been proven as a grand success. It is purely established as a nonprofit community center. It broadcasts the information such as Weather, the Appeals regarding social, national and educational issues, the Talks of the expertise from various fields such as Education, Health, Business, Religion, Agricultural, Media etc. Along with this, the community Radio, FM 90.4 also caters the audience with some variety of programmes of entertainment that are drawn from the Local Culture. Making of the Ahirani Songs (the local language of the community) and also the Recordings of the Madri, Marathi, Hindi, Urdu is done at this Community Radio Centre. It also helps the audience of the geographic community of Malegaon to get connected with their people, culture, environment and also with their intuitive interest.

Apoorva Dattak Yojana:

This is a very specific and unique scheme. Through this Adoption Scheme, the faculty adopts some students those who are economically backward and not only pay their admission fees, but also look after them as a real guardian and support them psychologically. The response to the scheme at the beginning was good, so we continued the practice with the same zeal and passion having in mind the very thought that we owe a lot to the society.

Saving vernacular languages from extinction:

So far nourishing and preserving the culture is concerned, it is thought to be done through languages, specifically diminishing local languages are sincerely thought to be nourished. Ahirani is the local language hence the use of Ahirani is promoted in the college. The languages on the verge of extinction, Brahmi and Modi are paid attention too by the History Department by running the Certificate Courses of these languages.

One Platform- 5 Languages:

We are the only college in the entire nation which promotes 5 languages at once on one stage for the debate at state level on the very burning issues thought to be discussed so that some positive inferences can be drawn and constitutional directive principles can be fostered in the minds of the students, teachers and the society. In order to motivate students, the institution spend approximately 5 lac rupees each year to organise this mega event in which 2 lac rupees are spent for the prizes to the winners. We have been doing it for 26 years. 5 language students from all over the state, 5 language judges, 5 language audience, 5 language prizes, individual and for the group is quite phenomenal. Every year more than 250 students participate in the event and it goes on for two days, 48 hours. We not only award students with cash prizes after the event, but during the event, the food; breakfast, lunch, dinner and residence are also provided by the college. The students from different colleges of the state come together and not only share their views on the topic but also exchange their cultures with one another during the event.

Talent Search for Social Benefit:

The Talent Search is deliberately done in the college campus by giving them the printed forms that include their hobbies and interest, skills and competencies at the onset of the academic year and they are asked to fill it in. After the forms are filled in, the forms are collected and analysed. On the basis of analysis some students are selected, trained and motivated to participate in various University, State, and National Level Competitions. Our students have shown their abilities by winning many State and National level competitions including Elocution, Debating, Rangoli, Poster Making, Video Making, Installation, Singing, Dancing, Poetry Recitation, Essay Writing, Handwriting, Avishkar, etc. some students have got an opportunity to perform on the National Channels’ Reality Shows.

Concern for Communal Harmony:

Our college is a Microcosm of India since it has all the qualities expected by each and all the citizens and institutions of the Nation to form a Human Society having eternal Human Values, Harmonious Relationship with one another to live happily with the sense of brotherhood. The college has been inspiring the students, teachers and all the stakeholders to save its dignity by observing the Communal Harmony. For this each year all the preachers from the major religion are called upon on the stage of MSG College and the Humanism is advocated through their discourse of the same human values inscribed in each religion. The college kept playing the Melodious Harmony of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice for one and all. Though the college has been situated in the Hindu majority area, the Muslims particularly the girl students always feel safe and happy in the college campus. It’s to be taken as a great achievement of the college. The college faculty as well as students are welcomed in the Muslim region colleges. Though the City was known for communal riots it is quite noteworthy that since its establishment not a single incident of communal disharmony, repercussion of riots in the college campus was ever observed.

Efforts during Pandemic:

The College building is used as a Covid Center during the pandemic. No casualty has been reported in this center. The students and the staff of the college visited the slum areas & villages to distribute the masks and sanitizers, food, medicine etc. The faculty has provided notes, teaching material to the pupils. The tiffin, Diwali snacks were provided to the public. The monetary help was given to the Covid Victims. The surveys on Covid vaccination were held.
