National Service Scheme

The National Service Scheme (NSS) has been in operation in UPES since April 2018. The fundamental objective of the NSS is to awaken and enrich the social consciousness of students. The scheme provides an opportunity for students to engage in constructive social action, programs, develop co-operative team spirit and gain skills in democratic leadership quality.

Student of UPES are the primary beneficiary of the program by way of development of their perception about the community, their skill in performing specific jobs, and in developing the qualities of a leader, an organizer, and an administrator and the overall development of their personality as a whole. Through NSS, they get opportunities to see the community closely and thus get an experience of human nature in relation to their environment. This is how the NSS program aims to make the NSS student youth better citizens through “Development of their personality through Community Service.”

Caring for the environment and people around is fundamental to all activities at UPES. University has adopted many schools in villages and suburbs area around to impart primary and higher education and computer literacy.

We believe “when you care enough, you can change the world.” Students continuously participate in Tree plantations, a Donation drive to the less fortunate, rainwater harvesting, Swachta Bharat Abhiyaan, and Women Empowerment.

Yoga & Meditation

As the proverb goes "sound mind resides in sound body". UPES pays emphasis on the both physical and mental health of its students. Located in the lap of nature, the beautiful serene campus offers conducive atmosphere to the students to relax. We provide ample opportunities to the students to explore new healthy ways of living which they may not have been exposed at home. We believe that yoga and meditation are the perfect activities to foster physical and emotional calmness and wellbeing. Yoga and meditation classes at UPES have proven effective to increase academic success and confidence, improve mental health, decrease substance abuse, improve physical health and heightened focus in class.
