Prayaas is where care turns into action. Launched in 2014, this heartfelt initiative by GLA University was created with one simple purpose: to uplift young minds and the teachers who guide them.

At GLA University, education does not stop at the classroom door. The National Service Scheme Cell turns learning into responsibility. Led by the Department of Education, students actively raise awareness on issues such as child abuse, illiteracy, alcoholism, and corruption.

Udaan began in 2012 when a group of GLA University students decided to teach underprivileged children living near the campus. What started as a small effort soon grew into a registered organisation in 2016.

Through Shiksha Kaya Kalp, GLA University extends its academic strength beyond campus walls. The University has adopted five government schools in nearby rural areas to support academic progress and holistic development.

Ujjwal Braj represents the spirit of responsible youth. Since 2015, students of GLA University have led cleanliness drives around Goverdhan Hill and the sacred Goverdhan Parikrama Marg.

Aashayein, the social wing of the ABACUS Society under the Department of Computer Science and Applications at GLA University, transforms technical talent into social impact.

GLA University believes progress must respect history. To preserve the cultural legacy of the region, the University has adopted Raskhan and Tajbibi Samadhi in Gokul, Kusum Sarovar in Goverdhan, Brahma Kund in Vrindavan, and Ramtal in Vrindavan.
