appreciate the academic community for their constructive criticism and engagement. Their
collective support made this project not only possible but also a rewarding learning experience.

offers. It provides an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios,
thereby enhancing understanding and retention. Additionally, it allows for interaction with
professionals from various fields, offering insights into their work, challenges, and successes.

Answer: I embarked on the Extension Work Activity with the objective of understanding the
profession of a Chartered Accountant. The journey began with a virtual interview with Mr.
Mandar Naik, a practicing Chartered Accountant. This process required self-directed training,
extensive research, and effective communication. Building rapport with Mr. Naik and the
academic community was achieved through clear communication and sharing of insights. The
work involved transcribing the interview, highlighting key points, and creating a booklet and
chart outlining the career path of a Chartered Accountant. Despite the challenges, the project
was a rewarding experience that provided practical insights into the profession and enhanced
my research and communication skills.

 Please write about the difficulties you faced while conducting activities.
Answer: One of the main challenges I faced was coordinating a suitable time for the interview
due to Mr. Naik’s busy schedule. Additionally, preparing effective interview questions
required a lot of research and understanding of the subject matter. Compiling and presenting
the information in a clear and concise manner was also a challenging task. However, these
challenges were valuable learning experiences and have equipped me with better planning and
coordination skills.

 How did you overcome the difficulties?

Answer: To overcome the difficulties encountered during the project, I adopted a proactive
and flexible approach. For scheduling conflicts, I maintained open communication with Mr.
Naik and offered multiple options for the interview. To create effective questions, I conducted
extensive research and sought advice from knowledgeable sources. For compiling and
presenting the data, I focused on logical organization and clarity, and incorporated feedback on
my drafts. These strategies not only helped me overcome the challenges but also enhanced my
problem-solving and project management skills.

 Please write about your expectations from extension work activities.

Answer: From extension work activities, I expect to gain practical knowledge and real-world
insights that complement theoretical learning. These activities provide an opportunity to
interact with professionals, understand their work, and learn from their experiences. I also
expect to develop essential skills such as research, communication, problem-solving, and
project management. Furthermore, I anticipate these activities to broaden my perspective,
encourage critical thinking, and foster a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Ultimately,
 4

I expect extension work activities to enrich my learning experience and prepare me for future
professional endeavors.

 Are your expectations fulfilled? Please brief.

Answer: Yes, my expectations were indeed fulfilled. The project provided me with a valuable
opportunity. The insights gained from the interview with Mr. Mandar Naik were enlightening
and went beyond my initial expectations. I was able to understand the intricacies of the
profession, the challenges faced, and the skills required. The project also enhanced my
research, communication, and coordination skills. Overall, it was a rewarding experience that
exceeded my expectations and provided me with a wealth of knowledge and skills.

 What did you learn by Extension Activities? (gain / loss)

Answer: Through the extension activities, I gained a deeper understanding of the role and
responsibilities of a Chartered Accountant. Interviewing Mr. Mandar Naik provided me with
first-hand insights into the profession, its challenges, and rewards. I learned about the
importance of continuous learning, ethical conduct, and effective communication in this field.
The only loss, if it can be considered as such, was the time and effort required to coordinate
and conduct the interview. However, the knowledge and experience gained far outweighed
this.

 How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?

Answer: It provides educational value, promotes informed decision-making, and encourages
civic participation. By sharing your findings, you can help others understand the profession
and inspire them to pursue a similar career path. Furthermore, the skills you develop during
this process, such as research and communication, are valuable contributions to society. Thus,
your extension work plays a crucial role in societal development.

 What is your suggestion?

Answer: My suggestion for future projects would be to start the process early. This allows
ample time for planning, reaching out to professionals, conducting interviews, and compiling
the information. It might also be beneficial to interview professionals from various stages of
their career - from novices to veterans - to get a comprehensive understanding of the career
path.

Essay Writing on social issues / Additional Information you

Answer:

Election literacy

Election literacy is a crucial aspect of a functioning democracy. It refers to the understanding and
awareness of the electoral process, the rights and responsibilities of voters, and the importance of
informed voting.

In a democratic nation, elections are the means by which citizens exercise their right to choose their
representatives. However, this process can only be effective if the electorate is literate about the
electoral process. This includes understanding how to register to vote, how to cast a vote, and how
to make an informed decision about which candidates to support.

Election literacy also involves understanding the role of different offices and positions within the
government, and how these roles affect the daily lives of citizens. This knowledge enables voters to
make informed decisions about which candidates are best suited to address the issues that matter
most to them.

Furthermore, election literacy promotes transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
When voters are educated about their rights, they are more likely to hold elected officials
accountable for their actions and less likely to be swayed by false information or propaganda.

In conclusion, election literacy is not just about knowing how to vote. It's about understanding the
significance of one's vote and making informed decisions that contribute to the betterment of
society. Therefore, promoting election literacy should be a priority for every democratic nation.
