The Health Club aims to create awareness among students for the maintenance of good physical and mental health. Students are sensitized regarding health, nutrition, and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. The objective of the Health Club is to make the students realize the importance of a healthy body; they are made aware of common diseases, their symptoms, diagnosis, and cure. The vision of the Health Club is to create awareness among the students in particular and the community in general, regarding the importance of good health.

Good health is central to human happiness and well-being. Healthy citizens make noteworthy contribution to the overall growth of the society. The Health Club of the college is a voluntary group that learns, discusses and takes action on issues related to the health and well-being of the staff and students of the campus. The club aims at increasing the knowledge and understanding of health issues that affect not only the students of the campus, but also the people in the neighborhood, and guide them to adopt healthy behaviors. The club promotes hygienic lifestyle among students, organizes outreach programmes, provides first-aid facilities and challenges the students to take up leadership roles and responsibilities. In collaboration with different NGOs and Hospitals, the Club also organizes FREE HEALTH camps and BLOOD DONATION camps both in and out of the campus.

By health, we not only mean a physically fit body, but a mentally balanced personality which is value added with emotionally stable and culturally rich aspects. The utility of Health Clubs can only be understood through active involvement, which will certainly help in creating a healthy society and leading to responsible citizenship as, healthy people work better and carry forward a progressive nation. Health Club is an association of students in College for taking care of everything that goes in to prescribing ways and activities for students to possess good overall health (Mental Physical, Emotional and Social). Club meetings were conducted on a regular basis and the following aspects were emphasized throughout the academic year.
