About the Association

SOCIAL HEALTH EDUCATION COMMITTEE (SHEC) was established in the year 2012 and operates under the auspices of the Department of Sociology with the aim of providing holistic social experiences to students.

Social Health is a positive dimension of health and refers to our ability to interact and form meaningful relationships with others. As teachers and facilitators, we understand that humans as social creatures are meant to have significant relationships and connections for our health and wellness. Sociologists have created a link between social relationships and health outcomes. Through varied activities that are interesting and student-friendly, SHEC strives towards creating impact on mental, physical and moral health of students.
