Youth Red Cross (Y.R.C)

"The Youth Red Cross" is a constituent of the Indian Red Cross Society (Karnataka): A group movement organized at the initial stages for students between 18 to 25 years of age. We, in our college, have a Youth Red Cross wing. Any student of any discipline can become a YRC member. Our YRC unit has 72 members, under the guidance of a programme officer.

Why you should be a member of Y.R.C

The hope of every nation in the world is its young people. We, in our institution, prepare our students to be caring citizens so that they have an opportunity to touch the lives of the needy and the helpless. We try to make a difference in our students through YRC.

The YRC motto

Youth Red Cross Unit members are the builders of the Nation who take part in bringing the very MOTTO of Red Cross, that is, "SERVICE TO SOCIETY"
