About Us

The BAPS Student Fellowship is a nurturing community committed to supporting students in their academic and personal development. Rooted in the teachings of BAPS, we strive to create an environment that balances educational achievements with spiritual enrichment. Initiated by BAPS, our fellowship is inspired by its profound tradition of nurturing spiritual development and community service.

This sabha provides a platform for students to engage in spiritual discussions, receive academic guidance, and build a supportive community.
