CLASS XI

SEWA PROJECT
SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work Education and Action) an endeavour by CBSE is a
programme that aims to focus on the mental, emotional and social health of a student.
The concept is based on the idea of ‘Learning to live together’. This will focus on developing
social consciousness of the learners through simple meaningful work at the individual level
and actions at a cohort level. In a globalized world, it is important that each learner needs to
realize that no person is an island and must live as a confident, competent and contributing
citizen of a vibrant society.
Students must acknowledge that they have a responsibility towards the less privileged, the
disadvantaged, the specially-abled, and the environment. The principle of giving back to
society should become their second nature. Keeping these objectives in mind, SEWA project
has been designed for preparing students to be responsible custodians of tomorrow and active
global citizens that enhance the quality of life both for others and for themselves.
