Institutional Social Responsibility
Serving the poor and underprivileged, through INDEVIN and the NSS.
Skill development and social welfare
Out of a genuine interest in serving society, the institution encourages social welfare activities. Through its foundation INDEVIN it works with NGOs, CBOs, youth clubs, institutions and volunteers, and its NSS wing gives students scope for socially important work.
INDEVIN, the social responsibility foundation of TACT, works on skill development and social welfare for vulnerable sections of society. The first project, SKILL-EM, was conceptualised under it and submitted to NSDC, Government of India. Once approved, small skill development centres would be set up across Odisha and then extended to Jharkhand and the north-eastern states. The foundation also works on education, health, the environment and women and child welfare.
