Prayas RDC Prayas is a student-led club at IIT Hyderabad with a mission to support and guide underprivileged students, particularly those from government schools. The club focuses on helping these students prepare for scholarship exams like NMMS and conducts awareness sessions on topics such as cleanliness and health. Every Saturday, volunteers visit nearby government schools to mentor students, providing them with guidance and encouragement. Additionally, the club visits a local orphanage to spend time teaching, playing games like cricket and chess, and engaging with the children to bring joy and learning into their lives. The club operates entirely on a volunteer basis, allowing anyone free over the weekend to contribute meaningfully.One of Prayas's major achievements was organizing Prerna, its first large-scale program, where students and parents from nearby government schools were invited to the IIT Hyderabad campus. The event featured inspirational talks by esteemed guests, including IPS officers, IRS officers, and professors, many of whom were alumni of government schools. This connection inspired both the students and their parents by showing them what is possible through dedication and hard work. The event also included a campus tour, offering the students a glimpse of opportunities that higher education can provide. Started by a Ph.D. student, Prayas continues to carry forward her vision, striving to make a lasting impact on the lives of children through mentorship, education, and heartfelt support.
