-# A statically generated blog example using Next.js, Markdown, and TypeScript
+# Welcome to the Blog of SLIIT SESC!
 
-This is the existing [blog-starter](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/blog-starter) plus TypeScript.
+This repository contains the codebase/content of the SLIIT SESC blog
 
-This example showcases Next.js's [Static Generation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/layouts-and-templates) feature using Markdown files as the data source.
+## Technical stuff for anyone who is wondering
 
-The blog posts are stored in `/_posts` as Markdown files with front matter support. Adding a new Markdown file in there will create a new blog post.
-
-To create the blog posts we use [`remark`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark) and [`remark-html`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-html) to convert the Markdown files into an HTML string, and then send it down as a prop to the page. The metadata of every post is handled by [`gray-matter`](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/gray-matter) and also sent in props to the page.

+
+Welcome to the official blog of the SLIIT Software Engineering Students Community (SESC). If you’re a student, a tech enthusiast, or just someone curious about what we do, you’re in the right place. This is the space where we share our journey, ideas, and events as we strive to build a vibrant, supportive, and inspiring community for software engineering students.
+
+So grab a coffee (we know most of you love it ☕) and join us as we introduce you to the SESC, the heart and soul of software engineering at SLIIT!
+
+## Who Are We?
+
+The SESC is more than just a student body it’s a family of tech-savvy dreamers, doers, and thinkers. It’s where undergraduate software engineers from SLIIT come together to learn, grow, and build bonds that extend far beyond the classroom.
+
+We’re here to help you navigate your university life, share knowledge, collaborate on projects, and of course, have a ton of fun along the way. Whether you’re just starting out or already knee-deep in lines of code, we’ve got something for you.
+
+## Our Mission: Building Bridges and Breaking Boundaries
+
+At SESC, we believe in creating a supportive environment where students and staff connect meaningfully. Our mission is twofold:
+
+1. Fostering Relationships: We aim to maintain strong interpersonal relationships among our peers and academic staff, ensuring that everyone feels valued and included.
+2. Empowering Students: We promote both academic and non-academic activities to support your growth — not just as software engineers but as well-rounded individuals.
+
+## What Do We Do?
+
+The SESC is buzzing with activities throughout the year. Here’s a glimpse into the exciting things we do:
+
+1. Tech Events
+   From coding marathons to expert panels, we host events that keep you ahead of the curve. These sessions are designed to expand your knowledge, sharpen your skills, and ignite your curiosity.
+
+2. Hackathons
+   Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into intense, creative problem-solving sessions. Hackathons are where ideas turn into reality, and lifelong friendships are forged over late-night debugging sessions.
+
+3. Meetups
+   Ever wanted to sit down with industry experts, alumni, or fellow students and talk tech? Our meetups bring people together to share experiences, insights, and maybe even a few memes.
+
+4. Study Support Sessions
+   Struggling with a tough concept? Preparing for exams? We organize study support sessions to ensure no one feels left behind. Because we succeed together.
+
+5. CSR Projects
+   Giving back to the community is a core value of SESC. We channel our skills and resources into projects that make a difference — whether it’s teaching coding to school kids or organizing donation drives.
+
+6. Industry Visits
+   Nothing beats real-world exposure. Our industry visits give you a firsthand look at how things work in leading tech companies, bridging the gap between classroom learning and professional life.
+
+7. Design, Development, and Online Collaboration
+   We believe in creativity and collaboration. Whether it’s designing posters, developing tools, or organizing online sessions, our members step up to make it happen.
+
+## Meet the Board!
+
+No community runs itself it takes a passionate team to make things happen. Here’s introducing the brains and hearts behind SESC: our amazing board members.
+
