PROJECT No. 1: Working of a NGO

Dear Students,

Have you ever thought that there is a difference between ‘a person helping a

handicapped person to cross the road’ and ‘a doctor treating handicapped patients for

fees? The first example an activity is carried out to serve a fellow human being while in

latter it is carried to earn an income. Hence, we can conclude that an activity performed

with the purpose of obtaining economic

benefits in the form of incomes is called

economic activity and an activity which is

carried without the purpose of obtaining

economic gains is called non-economic

activity.

❖ In this context prepare a project which includes the following:

a) Explain the terms – Economic Activity and Non-Economic Activity.
b) Visit a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and gather the following details:
a. The name of the NGO, the field of its operations ( how it functions) and
scope, its location ( does it have a PAN India presence), the people
involved in the management of the NGO.
b. Is it a profit seeking organization? What is the source of income for the
NGO? Does it face any challenges while gathering funds?
c. Do all the people who work for the NGO work for an income or are these
people volunteers for the NGO? Explain the three categories in which an
individual’s work for income can be classified.
d. Suggest means by which the NGO can increase its outreach.

PROJECT No. 3: Actions speak louder than words.

Dear Students,

Non-verbal communication
occurs without using any oral or
written word.

Instead of written or oral words,

it relies on various non-verbal
cues like physical movements,
tasks, colors, signs, symbols,
signals charts, etc. to express
feelings, attitudes, or
information.

Although no word is used in non-verbal communication, it can effectively communicate

many human feelings more accurately than verbal methods of communication.
Common types of nonverbal communication are eye contact, facial expressions, gestures,
posture and body orientation, body language, touch, para-linguistic, silence.

❖ Your task is watch silent motion picture (e.g., Charlie Chaplin movies with no
dialogues) and write a review of the same. Your review should be your original
work and must include the following details:
a) Explain the meaning of communication, the terms – verbal and non-verbal
communication. Give the importance of communication in personal and
professional life of an individual.
b) The name of the feature film, the production house, year of release, country of
origin, duration of the film (should not be less than 45 minutes), actors in
leading roles and the names of their characters. Mention the platform on which
you have viewed it
c) Make a note of all non-verbal and auditory cues which are used in the film and
the message they convey. You may use photographs of the non-verbal cues
as seen in the film to help your description.
d) Explain how the body language and facial expression changed according to
the scenes and helped the audience understand the situational details of the
scene.
e) Give your opinion on the benefits of silent films with respect to language and
cultural barriers. Can modern films with dialogues also have the same effect?
