Through the Srijan Social Internship, first-year UPES students work full time with social organisations for six to eight weeks. Their projects cover poverty and child labour, hunger and food distribution, health camps and elderly care, tutoring and digital literacy, women's empowerment, water and sanitation, and disability support.
UPES works with more than 1,100 social sector organisations for these internships, so that its own students learn about poverty first-hand while supporting the services that tackle it.
