Community Service Day 2026
Community Service Day was celebrated on 31st January, 2026 wherein about 751 residents of various NGO’s (from shelters for destitute women, orphanages, old age homes, children of migrant slum dwellers etc.) were invited to the Panvel Campus and treated to a day of food, fun and learning. The Campus continues to stay connected with these organizations and nurture them at an institutional level year after year to improve their quality of life. One of the key goals of Mahatma Education Society has been to expand its community service activities on a massive scale to help us reach out to many underprivileged people in our society and also inculcate a sense of pride among our students and faculty members in serving the less fortunate in society. We encourage our faculty and students to go and teach in the nearby villages, plant trees and clean the environment. The Chief Guest for the day was Ms. Wenonah Castellino, Founder of Wading Through Life – Funtoosh, an initiative for neurodivergent children and their families. The inaugural function was held in Conclave 1 where Ms. Castellino addressed the audience comprising of the heads of institutions and faculty members from the various institutions of MES on the opportunities to do social work for the betterment of the community. She also visited many of the invited guests from various NGO’s and interacted with them. All in all it was a fun filled day for a noble cause. In observing ‘Community Service Day’, students are exposed to this world and reach out to the marginalised in different ways and try to make a difference in their lives.
