Attendance is strictly maintained in the social work which is evaluated at the end of the academic session.

In order to have a successful social work, Social work committee have certain properties which is provided by the college. The properties are mainly implements for cleaning the campus like broom, hard broom, dustbin etc. All men are expected to have their own chempui (dao) and for women tuthlawh or chemkawm (hoe).
Activities
Because of the pandemic students could not reside in the hostel for approximately a year. Half of the student could enter to the hostel in the month of March 2021 and had to leave in April. We could have only have two months to do social work, but still social work activities is one of the main events in the campus during our stay.
