Anveshane - Discovering the Truth within

Anveshane is the open canvas for the interns to pen their experiences, thoughts, reflections, questions, challenges, ideas and memories.

Generally, an internship consists of an exchange of services for experience between the student and an organization. Students can also use an internship to determine if they have an interest in a particular career, create a network of contacts, or gain school credit. Some interns find permanent, paid employment with the organizations with which they interned. This can be a significant benefit to the employer as experienced interns often need little or no training when they begin regular employment. However, employment at the completion of an internship is not guaranteed.

These Internships are open to high school students, college or university students and post-graduate adults from both India and abroad. The areas of internship include Medicine, science, law, management, business, media and mass communications, technology and advertising. These are unpaid voluntary positions lasting 4 weeks to one year. 

The different types of internships include Work experience positions, including shadowing, research internships as well as virtual internships. 

All the internship programs are co-conceived methodically by the participants under guidance of their mentor Dr. Dayaprasad G Kulkarni - a medical doctor, public health specialist, entrepreneur, artist and development consultant.

Sports for SEVA day

On the 1st and 2nd of June happened Sport for SEVA, which was a fund raising sport event for the School Kit Drive, organised by Youth of SEVA. The benefits, about 25'000 rupees, will be used to provide school kits to 30'000 under privileged children.

There were lots of tournaments organised: cricket, basketball, volley ball, throw ball and chess. The participants were corporate employees, RWAs and apartment owners.

With the help of Doctors for SEVA we had a stall. There, people could get their blood pressure checked and their weight and height measured. We also provided first aid in case of injury.

During that day, we made a survey about the level of physical activity of the participants. 9 women and 25 men took part in the survey. the The results are the following:

On this table, we see that the majority of the people 

are doing a high or medium intensity sport. About

high intensity, there are more women than men, but it's the contrary for medium intensity activities.

This tabel shows that half of the participants had a  normal BMI, but most part of the women were overweight.

Here, the results are very good, because the majority of the particpants had a normal blood

pressure, even if a quarter of them are a bit high.

On this one, we see that there is no difference between vegetarian and non-vegetarian people, be it for BMI or blood pressure.
