To expand and elevate the knowledge through practice, the university indulges in a plethora of social activities to benefit the local population.

Adoption of a school

Uttaranchal University has donated land to run a High school in Banjarawala Basti, Selaqui, in the name of Pandit Sureshanand Joshi Saraswati Vidya Mandir, which is a pioneering initiative. Besides donating land, the school has been adopted and continuous support is extended and the university facilitates the requisite infrastructure and teaching resource for the betterment of the children, who are at the bottom of the pyramid to have a similar opportunities to grow as those of the others. Through this philanthropic activity the university extends a holistic support in its construction, library, and purchase of goods for the school and pays the salaries of the teachers thereby strengthening the educational system at its grass root level.

Free education:
Gift of education, is considered to be the most precious gift that a human being can offer. The ‘Globe Club’ of the university conducts ‘Shiksha Daan’ activity in ‘Akhil Bhartiya Mahila Ashram’ Besides adopting a school, the students of Uttaranchal University volunteer themselves to educate and provide equal opportunity to the economically backward and needy children residing in the slum areas in and around the city of Dehradun.  The activity is conducted on first three Saturdays of every month on a regular basis , with a view to create awareness among the less privileged children on issues related to health, environmental issues, education etc.

Facilitate basic amenities
In an attempt to reach out to the poor and needy people residing in the slum areas of Dehradun city, the management proffers basic needs like food and clothing regularly. The management in association with Shagun Hospitality distributes food to the nearby orphanage and particularly during COVID-19 pandemic took care of 500 needy people in Dehradun daily by distributing food and continued it till the lockdown was lifted. Not only the management but also students are service oriented and this is reflected in ‘Ek Kapada Daan’ activity, in which they collect old and unused clothes from the students and staff members and distribute it to the deprived people. Blanket donation drive is another act of generosity done by the management to protect the underprivileged people from the harsh winters. 

Awareness campaigns
