Strategy 4: Invest In You
Head of the Project - Sri Anusha Reddy Chirla
The main agenda of this "Invest In You " is to develop the hidden talents in students, raise their voice according to situations in their life, concentrate more on improving themselves and extracting new talents in students, and Uplift changing introverts into extroverts.
Generally Invest in you means " Dig deeper in yourself, Then the unexpected skills come out as a result", You are more capable than you think.
What does Invest In You Do?
In my research, we observed there are so many hidden talents in students, but due to improper guidance, They don't know what to do in their life. So, We conducted many workshops with my club crew members along with help of experienced faculty so we can testify, and analyze them. Based on their interest we categorized them. We have found some common points in them, in such a way that they get to know about themselves
These are some categories we observed:
1. If they have the talent they lack confidence.
2. If they have the courage they are not up to the mark.
3. They are confused about what to do… like having Mixed talents.
4. They have talent and courage but they don't know how to reach their goals.
So we considered all these aspects and motivated them as we can and to build them the confidence, Leadership, and Courage to know the importance of raising their voice, taking a stand first.
We considered another thing i.e. changing introvert to extrovert.
Students in college are generally not interested in taking a stand in some situations. They generally leave the topic and try to skip them or depend on other people to complete work.
People around us will not be with us at all times, right? , so they need to do things on their own in the future, So if we try on skipping work and then remaining life what will they achieve other than skipping the work ??
So, we thought that we need to tell about Real life situations in this rapidly growing world, If they have the capacity of talking, and collaborate friendly with people then they can sustain themselves in situations.
We motivated them and helped them try to reach the mark in them to take a stand when needed.
Objectives of Invest In You:
● Making students realize the importance of investing time in themselves to be better.
● Making students realize their talent which they are not aware of.
● Helping those who are not up to the mark to make themselves better.
● Motivating students to have self-confidence and never to be afraid to take a stand.
● Helping introverts to become an extrovert in communication which helps them excel in any path.

Strategy 1: Entrevation- Enhancing Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Head of the Project- Pranavi
The main vision of this is to produce successful entrepreneurs imbibed with innovation using ethical business practices to make a global impact. The mission is to instill the passion and spirit among students to pursue entrepreneurship. Most of the students are not completely aware of the actual meaning of I&E and some of them have their own ideas but not having resources to expose or implement their ideas. The implementation of this idea is though initiating an E&I Cell, which will be a complete package of resources that can transform them from a student to a full-fledged entrepreneur. So, through this idea, we wanted to create a complete platform for such students, who want to be the King of their Kingdom.
Entrepreneurship is important as it has the ability to improve standards of living and create wealth, not only for the entrepreneurs, but also for related businesses. Entrepreneurs also help drive change with innovation, where new and improved products enable new markets to be developed.And this makes the students to improve their knowledge in different aspects.
As most of the students are having different skills but does not have any correct platform to implement their ideas we wanted to create a platform for young and blooming students.
The impact of entrepreneurship can widely range through this platform as it gives a path to follow their passion.By conducting seminars we can create the awareness in the students to choose their path.
Short Term Goals:
-To provide a platform for interaction with entrepreneurs.
-Impart entrepreneurial education/skills amongst students through various pieces of training
and exercises.
-Arrange vibrant interaction with organizations promoting the cause of entrepreneurship.
Long Term Goals:
-Motivate students to develop their own start-ups.
-Develop business incubators.

Strategy 3: Radiochords- The Voice of College
Head of the Project- Mayukhi
The influence and relevance of college radio have undoubtedly diminished since the ’90s, challenged by new outlets for announcements and connectivity that began with the rise of mobile applications, file sharing, and widespread broadband access around the turn of the century. Our college ACET wants to reflect an essential experience through College Radio, which replicates itself a decade after decade: the autonomy, the freedom of speech, the experimental drive. As we are also planning on bringing this opportunity to the very own hands of our students we are gonna design a website and make it a digital platform that people would want to go to and interact with,we believe that this move online will make the station more accessible to the student body. At our radio station, we’re doing the whole thing of creating awareness about the opportunities.
Why Choose Radio?Radio offers efficient targeting,Radio reaches people at relevant times and places,Radio has a ‘multiplier effect’ on other media,Radio drives response,especially online and Radio is also a great 'friend’.Developing a holistic mechanism to capture the possibilities of maximizing the learning experience by employing college radio as an educational tool.
In addition to traditional educational and learning approaches, employing radio as aninstructional medium can redefine the learning experience, have integrative effects, trigger active participation enhance educational experience, and maximize community engagement.
College radio is to be limited to the ACET campus with a target community of approximately 900 undergraduate students, teachers,and administrative staff. It can be a great learning medium for student development, their viability and scope.Aimed at the holistic growth of the student community.A fresh dimension in order to strengthen the pedagogical mechanism for an enhanced learning experience for students.
Short term goals:
-we get to meet a lot of cool people.
-we will also be exposed to a variety of cultures.
-a collaborative environment outside of the school system.
-we will be able to learn to appreciate the process of creation there.
Long term goals:
-By empowering students to add their voices and opinions to the airwaves and connecting listeners to new ideas and artists, college radio fosters creativity and serves as a platform for students to engage with one another.
-Being independent and non-commercial and the voice of actual people and not the voice of a corporation is more important than ever.
-college radio is more nimble in embracing new transmission options, which will allow students to adapt to the changing media landscape better than their sluggish commercial counterparts.
Strategy 4: AlFaSt - Get Connected for Career Guidance
An app that connects Alumni, Faculty(Placement), Students.
Head of the Project- La Selene
Good conduct is coveted, but sometimes young minds need guidance to polish their personality. Guidance and counselling are important for students and schools have a huge role in bringing out the best out of the ignited minds of the freshmen. Proper counselling will help incorporate valuable lessons in their daily life.It's important to prepare them for life after school and what to expect in the different fields they might opt for.
On the other hand, it’s equally necessary to accelerate with the changing world and be on good terms with the technology. For a student, to have a vision about where would they see them in a couple of years, to choose a better career path in which they are interested, right guidance is required. This paved the way for the Application connecting the alumni and students along with Placement faculty. Through this, students can get acquainted with the job and internship opportunities, the latest technological trends in the field of software and many more. The interaction with the alumni lets the students know what to do and what not to do at each stage of college life. Because the right time to come up with the plan is now.As alumni are the one, who get a real-time experience of the industry and thus can be great career guides just like seniors who were a helping hand in the school.
The "AlFaSt" app provides students to post their queries regarding career vision, check-out latest posts on trends in technology, the news feed of industry, job and internship opportunities. One can follow, DM and also save and like posts. Answering the queries can go into a chain of discussion. When all such features come under a roof to provide a pathway to students, the best and handy way is only an Application, where it can be deployed and maintained.
The impact of such kind of application depends on, to what extent the students can utilize such kind of opportunity and time to connect and interact with the world out of the college. The more is the exposure to applicative knowledge, the more they achieve.
Short Term Goals:
-Webinars
-Scheduling open talks on campus
Long Term Goals:
-Advancing the app for finer usage
-Using ML and AI for better interest search
