Community Engagement

Community engagement is vital for educational institutions, fostering societal development and nurturing empathy among students.
ICFAI Business School, Hyderabad exemplifies this through initiatives like book and stationery donation drives, celebrating festivals with housekeeping staff, and visiting underprivileged schools and orphanages.
Programs such as "Khushiyon ka Recycle" and support for SOS Village underline their commitment to making a tangible impact.
These activities empower students to contribute to societal well-being, promoting values of sharing, inclusivity, and responsibility.

At times we realize that ‘gaining or acquiring something gives less pleasure than sharing or giving it to someone who would really cherish it more than we do’ and one good thing is that one is never at loss by sharing.
