Looks good, but you should make some additions/changes:

• You need an objective section. I have no idea what you want to be hired for and neither will the hiring manager. (They probably get CVs for various positions.)
• That lead paragraph should be contextualized. Add that info under experience and skills so it can be read quicker (the hiring manager will prefer efficiency in writing) and so we know what it has to do with what you can do/have done. Put your contact details in that space instead. (Your current format makes them look like they are supposed to help you get hired, which is the wrong visual language.)
• Alternatively, you can put the paragraph in your cover letter. Just remember to keep the letter brief, as hiring managers don't like to read too much before getting to the CV.
• And while we're on contacts, don't forget your name and mailing address. Good idea not to show us that info, but you want the hiring manager to see them.
• I can't tell how many years of experience you have with that job due to a lack of dates. It looks like you have more education than experience with the way you use dates. That's fine if it helps, but put the most important stuff first, then the rest in order of priority.

Not sure if applause is the right word for what you mean in the last sentence of the Awards section. Gained acclaim or recognition is probably more suited for what you mean, if I'm understanding it correctly.

@miguk , I'm actually trying to find a simple part-time job for a while till I finish my Bachelors. So any odd jobs are good enough for me. Thank you for your time as well as @Strategist , I've changed that error. Thank you for the correction.

pretty much any job should help you with that. make sure to put aside a bit of money and invest it wisely. having some money working in the background and growing will help you out later.

Is This Better ?

P.S: The Intern stuff is just generic, don't look into that that much.

If that is the case, then you probably don't want an "objectives" section. Would you take a good job that doesn't care you are a CS student? If so, then I don't see a reason to specify like that.

The main problem is still much of what @miguk said: you need to be more specific and concrete with dates and what you have done. In "Volunteer Experience" you say "events" but do not list dates or what you did. I would merge volunteer experience with experience: list most professional first, of course, but put it all together; volunteer experience is still experience! Date, itemize the event, and describe the skills you applied to the event.

Speaking of skills, I would remove that or seriously rework it. "Problem Solving" and "Attention to detail" would not tell me anything and would annoy me, having to read that. Rather than just putting things like that, list an event (in experience, no matter how minor, with a date) and have a bullet of something that DEMONSTRATED problem solving or attention to detail. Also, having more dates and itemization, really shows attention to detail in the CV itself which employers like.

If you still insist on a "skills" section, this needs to be reserved for particular software/hardware or equipment that you are proficient with. You mention photography, so mention particular models of cameras that you helped with, software (if any you used) etc. Same with the raspberry-pi thing.

It's Pretty Good for a Curriculum Vitae and that is reflected in the Introduction, Contact, Experience, Skills, Education, Volunteer Experience and Awards.
