Dnyaan Prasad Global University by Dr. D. Y. Patil Unitech Society, initiated a series of impactful activities, including a 3-day NSS camp, a clean water and public health awareness programme, as well as healthcare and community engagement initiatives in Shelarwadi village to raise awareness of the environment and value-based education.
The university organised a “Clean Water, Healthy Life” awareness initiative, and students engaged communities with scientific insights on water hygiene, disease prevention, and sustainable health practices, highlighting the role of informed behaviour in improving quality of life in Shelarwadi. As part of this effort, students conducted comprehensive field surveys, including house-to-house water sample collection, to assess drinking water quality.
The collected samples were further analysed in laboratory settings to evaluate purity levels and identify potential contaminants, strengthening awareness around safe water consumption through scientific validation.
On the other hand, the 3-day NSS camp at Ratangad allowed students to participate in activities that brought together education, nature, values and real-world experiences. With guidance from Hon'ble Vice Chancellor Dr Mohan Waman on how to connect with nature and develop an ecological consciousness and a presentation by noted actor and artist Mr Sayaji Shinde on the connection between learning and action through knowledge, students enjoyed their time at the camp.
To further engage, faculty and students from the university initiated the healthcare program to improve community health and awareness in Shelarwadi Village. This program was attended by 120 villagers, along with their Sarpanch.

"The ultimate goal of an education is to produce responsible and aware citizens," said Dr. Somnath P. Patil, Pro-Chancellor of Dnyaan Prasad Global University. "While academic performance is important, being a part of the community is also part of our mission as a university. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts provide our students with empathy, social awareness and civic responsibility."
With these types of initiatives, Dnyaan Prasad Global University confirms its commitment to developing a higher education environment that provides a substantial contribution to society and develops leaders who have a social conscience.
