NSHM Knowledge Campus, is a group of Higher Education Institutes, celebrating its 25th Anniversary with campuses in Kolkata and Durgapur, West Bengal. Being one of Eastern India’s pioneering institutions, NSHM offers multidisciplinary UG & PG programs in Business & Management, Health & Environmental Sciences, Media & Design, Computing & Analytics, Engineering & Technology.
On a personal front, I have been a practitioner & teacher of yoga for almost 25 years. I strongly feel the need to spread this knowledge to the youth and students of today, especially in Eastern India. Being the land of stalwarts like Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Swami Vivekananda, Rishi Aurobindo and Paramahansa Yogananda; I believe the youth of West Bengal have a strong potential to learn more about Yoga and its teachings. I am keen to spread yoga academically so that it can help our youth become more aware & resilient.
New Age Programmes
We have always wondered about the Future and experimented with offering Full-Time degree programs that are futuristic to meet India’s evolving needs as well as being globally accepted. New Age degree programs in Robotics, AI & Machine Learning, Digital Health & Telemedicine, Cyber Security, Yoga, Data Science, Fashion Design & Culinary Science have been added over the last 5 years to provide interested students an opportunity to learn and explore exciting career options in these emerging fields.
Youth Connect Initiatives
Every year we have driven initiatives to host eminent personalities from diverse fields to interact, empower and share their experiences with our Students.
Inspire the Champion in You, NSHM’s flagship annual event where diverse speakers ranging from Dr. Shashi Tharoor, MP to legendary footballer Pele have visited our Campuses & interacted with our students. Other events like Vectra, Y-Comm & Login Astitva are also held annually to create platforms for students to showcase their talents.
