new strategic priority
=='''Anchors’ Club:'''==
Our previous Fellows’ idea was to initiate a Radio station in the campus. MITS Community Radio Station 90.8 is established in the campus. During our campus interviews with faculty, we got the insight about the problem of taking Radio Programs forward. The Radio station Programs are lagging due to the RJ issues. The Radio Jockeys, who had been trained are busy with academic work and their involvement in the Radio related programs are not sufficient. Hence, catering the needs of the ecosystem and community around became our priority. Our organisationorganization's priority is our priority.
Apart from that in our previous interactions, we got feedback that the majority of students wanted a platform to enhance and showcase their skills. For which Campus Resource MITS Community Radio Station 90.8 plays a major role. Required presentation skills are lacking, though they are eager to participate in the activities. To reach all, we require a greater number of presenters/RJs/Anchors, so to take the programs in a desirable way.
*''Contacting administrators and professionals to conduct workshops to train Radio Jockeys/Anchors''
*''Arranging Visits to Community Radio Stations to gain working knowledge.''
*''Requesting the administrators to give demos and training programs to enable first -hand experience.''
*''Gathering feedback and sharing the feedback with administrators and in charges''
'''Impact:'''
This platform will enable the students to gain practical learning skills, testing them in the Radio Station. Students grow personally and professionally by participating in Interactive programs, discussions on current events, media trends, interviews, Mitsians’ achievements and achievements and identifying societal issues. They stay updated with Talk Shows, which provide exposure to the views of alumni and other professionals. The programs on counselling & motivational would support students with stress management, career choices, issues related to depression and personal growth, which restore their wellness. Their collaborative projects will see the light and are being heard in the campus, building an immediate image by establishing new connections. This tie ties up with the Alumni will enable them to stay focussed focused on the latest happenings in the industry and academia. Our Anchors’ Club fosters an inclusiveness, wellness among the students by empowering the students for successful careers and offering solutions to societal problems.

=='''Vanguards Club:'''==
After discussing with senior fellows and in-house fellows, we understood that the increase in the intake is not catering to all.The DT principles to have to reach many more. Our freshmen, peers have to be exposed to the workshops. Creating a robust learning ambience would be our top priority. This idea enabled us to become a bigger team and to reach out to the like -minded innovators. We want to pool them to stay focused on campus innovations across the disciplines.
'''Plan of action:'''
*We want to schedule an action plan to conduct DT workshops for all disciplines.
*Want to collaborate with inhouse campus fellows to conduct training sessions.
*Circulating google forms in respective class groups for easy access.
*Sending circulars on DT sessions through the class representatives
*Conduct surveys or focusing groups with your target audience to motivate them to join the Vanguardsthe Vanguards' Club.
*We will conduct DT workshops section by section and we will try to get feedback and improvise our presentation to reach more and to trigger their divergent thinking.

== '''Wellness wheel''' ==Of late, we heard of many deaths and attended condolence meetings on campus. During our interviews, some of the friends and faculty grieved about his scenario. After attending condolence meetings,we brainstormed the reasons and fixed accidents, suicides and ill health. This has given us an insight to go deeper into the major issue of mental health/wellness of the students on campus. “ How “How might we improve students’ mental health or wellness?” Through our interviews we probed and felt bad about the lack of awareness among the student community. The unhygienic conditions in and around Angallu ( location of institute), academic stress, cricket betting, love failures, PUBG or video games, lack of time management skills, irresponsible driving and mobile addiction are the root causes.
'''To promote campus wellness, AICTE also has introduced Universal Human values as a theory subject, but practical sessions to learn are lacking. So, comes our idea of a Wellness wheel which which will provide a practical workspace .'''
