This innovision saw a successful continuation of AASRA's 'Little Science Yard' streak. Little science yard is a science project making competition for the children from aasra's different workplaces and it aims at bringing the innovation and talents of the young minds into the limelight. The event took place in the LA premises on 5th of November, 2017. The children reported to the venue by 9:30 am in the morning and submitted their projects- models and chart papers.

Jagda: Of Little Hearts and Mighty Dreams

A Family, Together Forever As cliched as it sounds, I am still honestly relieved that we are done with 2020 now. Yes, I know it’s just a change in a single digit, and globally the situation remains roughly the same but still. It’s only two months into 2021, and India, especially, seems to be in a much better place in terms of the pandemic. AASRA isn’t to be left behind then. We have had the integration of new inductees and foundation day celebration to begin the year with. Hopefully, we will have much more to come.

For the poor, buying things during festivals can be nothing but a far fetched dream. We at AASRA believe that there's no greater joy than the joy of serving the poor and the less fortunate ones. Each year, we create employment opportunities for dozens of poor women during Diwali, so that they have enough money to celebrate the festival of lights with their families. DIYA PROJECT is our greatest and most awaited project every year, for which every volunteer of AASRA puts in a lot of effort (and love). We buy diyas from a wholesale seller, and buy decorative items such as glitter powder, paints etc. We go to three workplaces and ask the women there to decorate these Diyas for us. Our volunteers roam around the campus of NITR, visiting faculty and students and taking orders for diyas from them. These decorated diyas are sold for a profit, and the profits are g
