It is often done near the rea where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, though sometimes food and small gifts, like a t-shirt, are given to volunteers, Community service can help any group of people in need: children,senior citizens, People with disabilities, English language learners, and more. Community service is often organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, school, or non -profit organization, You can also start your own community service project Background: Community service is a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of people forthe benefit of their community or it institutions. Community service is distinct from volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis. It may be performed for a variety of reasons > It may be required by a government as a part of citizenship requirements, like the mandatory "Hand and hitch-up services" for some municipalities in Germany, or generally in lieu of military service or for civil conscription services.> It may be required as a substitution of, or in addition to, other criminal justice sanctions ~ when performed for this reason it may also be referred to as community payback. > Itmay be mandated by schools to meet the requirements of a class, such as in the case of service- learning or to meet the requirements of graduating as class valedictorian. > Inthe UK, ithas been made a condition of the receipt of certain benefits. [dubious— discuss] (see Workfare in the United Kingdom) Need and Importance: Community Service has a number of important benefits engaging in community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service or volunteerism enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge, as well as provide a service to thosewho need it most. These are some of the common benefits of participating in a communityservice program: Psychological benefits: Volunteering increases overall life tisfaction and helps you feelgood about yourself because you are helping others. It can also help to decreases stress andease depression. Social benefits: Volunteering engages students with the community, creates special bonds with the population being served, and increases social awareness and responsibility. Cognitive benefits: Volunteering helps students enhance their personal knowledge, grow from new experiences, and develop better interpersonal communication skills.Participating in community service not only makes a difference to the organization and people being served, but also makes a difference to every student's career prospects. Participating in community service activities helps to enhance student resumes by allowingstudents to obtain work-related skills prior to graduation, builds good references for employers in regards to community involvement, and provides a forum to network with future potential employers. It also helps students develop civic and social responsibility skills and become more aware of what their community needs. You can also make a positive contribution to your community by carning an online degreein nursing, criminal justice or psychology. Contact us today for more information about our programs where you can learn how to help real people and leave a positive impact on the world. 3.2 Forms of community service: There are three types of community service and service-learning: direct, in-direct and advocacy. Once a community need is identified, the project activities that are developed will align with one or more of the types. Below are definitions and additional examples ofeach type of community service and service-learning. Direct: - You can develop direct service activities where students interact with therecipients of service or the physical environment they have targeted for improvement. Youand your chapter can volunteer at a food kitchen to serve community members in need. Orperhaps you can work with your community senior centre to create an adopt-a-grandparent program that lasts beyond FFA Week.In-Direct: - If you don’t have the ability 10 come in direct contact with the beneficiaries of service, you can organize an indirect service activity where students channel resources to a problem but do not interact with those being served. This can include organizing a canned food drive to donate to a food pantry in a neighbouring community or participating in a community beautification project. Advocacy: - It is important to always be an advocate for the issues that inspire you. Duringadvocacy service activities, students bring awareness to an issue and inspire others to takeaction. Advocacy can also address the underlying causes of asocial problem by attemptingto influence policymakers or elected officials.CHAPTER -4 ACTIVITY LOG FOR THE FIRST WEEK Day Brief description of the daily activity Learning Outcomes Person In- Charge Signature Day-3 Day-6WEEKLY REPORT WEEK-1 (From Dt.............

Thus, several specific uses of mobile can be seen, apart from those discussed here. What are the uses of Mobile Phones? In the olden days, mobile phones were mainly used by business people to stay connected with others over phone calls. However, since the support of the Internet and a wide range of application software on mobile phones, mobiles have become an essential requirement for humans in almost every field, be it engineering, teaching, artist, medical, business as well as personal, If mobile phones are used for good purposes, they can be said to be one of the greatest inventions of humans in this technological era. RESEARCH ON MOBILE PHONE APPS IN VARIOUS FIELDS: If we talk about the uses of mobile phones these days, they are almost equal to computers, or laptops, sometimes even more, However, some of the most common mobile uses can be defined based on the following purposes: Uses of Mobile Phones in Communication Mobile phones are one of the primary sources of communication these days. They have become smaller, and there is no longer a need to connect them with wires. This somewhat makes it easier to carry them anywhere and stay connected with the people we want over text messages, audio or video calls, emails, etc., Mobile phones have proved essential to social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others. They help people to share theirthoughts, ideas, and suggestions in the form of text, images, videos, etc., with people all over the world. There are applications that can be installed on mobile phones to stay connected with people on social media. In addition, we can access related web apps or websites using the browser on our phones. ‘With mobile phones, students can communicate with their teachers, attend college seminars, or collaborate on a project as a team from the comfort of their homes or while traveling abroad. Similarly, businessmen stay connected with their investors, employees, and other important people over calls, video conferences, or emails using their mobile phones Uses of Mobile Phones in Education ‘Mobile phones are also widely used in the field of education. They have made elearning (learning through the internet) so easy. People search for a specific topic using the browser on their mobile phones and have access to a wide range of related content information. We don't need to go through every page of a physical book or chapter to find any small detail. Anything can be searched on mobile phones with just a few finger clicks or even using the voice. One advantage of using mobile phones to search for information on the Internet is that specific information is provided in various forms such as images, documents, videos, etc. It makes education somewhat easier. In addition, desired content can be saved or downloaded on the mobile's storage so that students can read, view, or watch them in the future without an internet connection. relat Pe euUses of Mobile Phones in E-Banking & Finance Mobile phones are also useful for banking and financial operations. Almost every bank has i mobile application and website, which enables users to access their respective bank ks, Apart many tutorials and instructions are also provided to the users to guide them to perform accounts. With mobile banking or intemet baking, users can perform many basic banking-related operations easily. Users do not need to visit banks for basic needs, such as managing account balances, generating ‘statement, moncy transfers between accounts, requesting a cheque book & debit/credit cards, and ATM management operations, etc. They just need to log in to their account and follow on-screen instructions to perform the desired action on their mobile phones. Similarly, there are many financial services available on the Internet which can be easily accessed through mobile phones. Users can open Demat accounts, apply for loans, pay taxes, and much more. It has become so easy to view the real-time prices and trade accordingly in the stock market without the need for any third-person a Uses of Mobile Phones in Photo & Video Shoots. Itis not alway s possible to carry a digital camera to capture daily living activities as they are not so easy to carry, However, mobile phones these days have powerful capabilities to capture images or record videos, and mobile phones are comparatively casy to carry anywhere. In addition, we get enough built-in tools and third-party image manipulating application software on mobiles to enhance our captured images or video quality immediately. Unlike digital cameras, mobile phones also offer some fun and entertainment-based camera filters that make images and videos even more funny or attractive in different ways. Apart from these, many professional filters and effects are also added. The latest high-end mobile phones are equipped with artificial intelligence technology in their cameras, which automaticallyidentify various photo objects like food, trees, river, fountains, flowers, and many more to optimize the image accordingly. Uses of Mobile Phones in Entertainment Mobile phones have become one of the primary sources of entertainment these days. Since modern phones are equipped ith the Internet, there are many entertainment options available just a few clicks. With the increasing amount of ital content distributed legally and illegally, users get access to various media formats, be it music, videos, movi ete, Users can either enjoy certain types of media online or download and save them on their mobile phones. Apart from just enjoying media, there are also many applications available to watch Live TV on a mobile phone th a paid subscription ‘We cannot deny the fact that mobile phones re also being widely used for gaming. Since the introduction of games like PUBG, BGMI, COD, etc., mobile gaming has evolved a lot. Another reason for increasing mobile gaming is the easy portability and low cost of mobile phones, Users can play their favourite games anytime from anywhere, be ithome, office, travel, ete,Uses of Mobile Phones in Navigation Mobile phones have revolutionized the way navigational systems work so far. We don't need to read or understand physical paper maps or use the compass to visit a specific place these days. Instead, we can use our mobile phones to see a map of the whole world, Also, modem phones are equipped with GPS to guide us toward a specified position. With the support of GPS and the Internet, the mobile phone displays the location on the map in real-time, We can select the place we want to visit, and the mobile will guide us about the roads and directions we need to follow. Additionally, we can always see our location on the map at any time, It displays information on all roads, railway tracks, rivers, parks, other nearby areas, and even traffic. When we have a mobile phone, it is easy to find the nearest areas like hotels, banks, ATMs, restaurants, airports, stations, efe. All such features in mobile phones are really useful when we are traveling to completely new and unknown places or abroad. Summary With the continuous advancement in mobile phones, they are now used for a variety of purposes, especially for making calls, sending and receiving text messages & emails, surfing the Internet, taking pictures and videos, communicating on social platforms, listening to music, watching movies, and many more. Apart from cameras, mobile phones have also reduced the need for watches, torches, calculators, etc. ADVANTAGES OF MOBILE PHONES: 1. EASY COMMUNICATION 2, SELF LEARNING AND EDUCATION 3. ONLINE BANKING AND PAYMENTS 4, EASY BOOKING AND SHOPPING 5, ENTERTAINMENT HUB 6, INCOME SOURCE AND INVESTMENTS DISADVANTAGES OF MOBILE PHONES: 1, ADDITION AND DISTRACTION HEALTH PROBLEMS AND BAD ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 3. ISOLATION, PRIVACY AND SECURITY CONCERNRECOMMANDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE MINI PROJECT. Mobile phones have already been used widely around the world for activism, social and economic development, and new cultural and communicative forms. Despite this widespread use of mobile phones, they remain a relatively un- theorised and un-discussed phenomenon in community and citizen's media. This paper considers how mobile phones have been taken up by citizens to create new forms of expression and power. The specific focus is the use of mobile phones in community development, with examples including the Grameenphone, agriculture and markets, the Filipino diasporic community, healthcare, and mobile phones in activism and as media. It is argued that mobile phones form a contact zone between traditional concepts of community and citizen media, on the one hand, and emerging movements in citizenship, democracy, governance, and development, on the other hand. Cell phones have completely changed our world. People now use them for leisure time, business, school, and so much more. Cell phones are not just cell phones anymore. People rely on them for video chatting for conference calls, searching the web for nearby restaurants, taking pictures of their travels, using a GPS tracking system, ete. The majority of people own cell phones nowadays and people rely on them more than ever. Cell phones have become a part of everyday life and I could not imagine what it would be like having to live without having a cell phone. Cell phones are a vital service in the human connection because people are able to have connections that the past decades never imaged. The cell phone is an incredible invention that has altered our lives forever.Student Self-Evaluation for the Community Service Project ‘Student Name: Registration No: Period of CSP: From: Date of Evaluation ‘Name of the Person in-charge: Address with mobile number Piease rate your performance in the following areas: Rating Scale: Lis lowest and $ is highest rank 2 i g i 5 : : i i e i i E 6) Self-confidence 1 2 3 4 8) Work Plan and organization 1 2 3 4 10) Creativity 1 2 3 4 12) ‘Time Management 1 2 3 4 14) Achievement of Desired Outcomes 1 2 3 4 te: Signature of the StudentEvaluation by the Person in-charge in the Community/Habitation ‘Student Name: Registration No: Please note that your evaluation shall be done independent of the Student's self-evaluation, Rating Seale: is lowest and 5 is highest rank 2 i | 5 : i : E i i i 2 £ f a e + n gs é i i i : i Z ; . . ‘ f i i : ! i ? i Date: ‘Signature of the SupervisorRelated photos and links
