STUVOL - Student Volunteers

STUVOL is part of Neohumanist Education. This program was created as an extracurricular activity by Shrii P.R Sarkar and is similar to after school programmes or electives. STUVOL runs from Kindergarten to College. STUVOL offers students activities through which they can develop their service spirit and grow into caring and benevolent personalities. Through STUVOL activities, students apply their learning, gain practical skills and experiences, get scope to express their creativity and resilient spirit, gain confidence in their personal strength and share their joy with others in the society. In NHE schools, STUVOL can be a separate programme, or the elements of STUVOL can be integrated into the rest of the school programme.
