The department of Extra Curricular Activities at KMV strives to excel in striking a balance between syllabus, curriculum, books and co-curricular activities beyond them, envisioning to enhance the complete personality of the students to strongly face the testing road of the future. Kanya Maha Vidyalaya plays a pivotal role in channelizing the dormant energy of its students into the fruitful direction of personality development through extra- curricular activities. The department of ECA at KMV is brimming with activities throughout the year. The department charts Annual Programme Planner every year and finalises various projects to be undertaken which directly benefit students, society and the nation. Students participate in many cultural programmes and competitions like Essay writing, Quiz, Story writing, poetry, singing, dancing, acting, painting, modelling, mobile Quiz, Debate, Elocution, slogan writing, poster-making and many awareness enhancement and social extension activities from time to time. They also celebrate important days of national and international importance. The students in collaboration with various NGO’s like Rotary, Jaycees, Lions, Pahal, Arrive Safe and Goonj, organise many events like Tree Plantation, Blood Donation, Traffic awareness seminars, Women Safety awareness rallies, Say No to drugs campaign to name a few. The students actively prepare and participate in items for Zonal, Inter- Zonal, North Zone and Intervarsity Youth Festivals. These activities positively impact students’ emotional, intellectual, social, and inter-personal – development. They encourage interactions that are essential for building a strong civil society. Each activity offers students an opportunity to work with others and gain essential life skills. By working together with other individuals, students learn to negotiate well, communicate effectively, resolve conflict and lead others. They understand the importance of critical thinking, time management and academic and intellectual competence. Involvement in co-academic activities helps students mature socially by providing a setting for student interaction, relationship formation and discussion. Primarily, the intention is to make the ‘scholar’ students become fit and ready for the challenges in future life and develop a sense of healthy competition and cooperation, enhance leadership qualities, make them diligent and punctual, build team spirit and to augment the latent creative talents and skills which promote values of courtesy, mutual respect and tolerance.
The Students’ Council of the college helps students learn and practice skills of good governance, democratic representation and participation and makes them feel involved and responsible. The Students’ Council is an elected body to represent the voice of the student community. Class Representatives are elected from each class, sixty out of whom are then bestowed with the membership of the Council along with representatives from the hostel, sports and EMA departments. The functions of the Students’ Council are handled by committees like Discipline Committee, Cleanliness Committee, Reception, Hospitality Committee and Students’ Centre Committee. Each committee has an agenda to work upon. The Committees are headed by Presidents and have several members for smooth functioning.
In order to boost the capacity to learn and to teach meaningful application of knowledge to young minds, the college makes best efforts to complement the academic system with practical skills through various teaching methodologies that extend beyond the classrooms. Varied and multifarious activities like field trips, educational trips, socio-economic or psychological surveys, visits to industrial or corporate houses, national and international seminars, workshops and extension lectures by great scholars and subject experts, hands-on work experience in almost all the practical subjects are all integrated into the academic agenda.
The first college in Jalandhar to introduce NCC, KMV has a sub-unit of Army wing at present with a strength of 55 girl cadets. These cadets are trained in various fields like drill, firing and other Army subjects. All cadets are expected to attend the camp for which they are detailed. NCC cadets are given refreshment and issued uniforms free-of-cost for a session. At the end of their course, they receive B & C certificates which motivate them even further.National Service Scheme (NSS)
