Yuv Shakti

The Society had long felt the need to involve the youth in its activities. Gandhiji said “Youth are the salt of the nation”; the Fine Arts firmly believes in it. It also believes that it is the cultural roots and education which give character to the youth. The Yuv Shakti was launched with great fanfare at the turn of the century and now forms a very strong and vibrant part of the Society. Persons between the age of 16 to 30 can enroll as Yuv Shakti activists.

Apart from involving itself in the normal programmes of the Society, the Yuv Shakti organizes extremely popular and innovative programmes like light classical music competitions, drawing competition, rangoli contests & special events from time to time.


Healthcare Circle

This Circle was set up as a forerunner of one of the objects of the Society namely “to establish and run healthcare support facilities such as Medical Diagnostic Centres, Hospitals, Nursing / Old Age Homes for providing diagnostic / medical and healthcare services to any person irrespective of caste, creed or religion, and also for undertaking and / or promoting research in medical science.”

To start with the Circle is providing information to members and the public at large on common ailments / complaints, their treatments, preventive measures, fitness guides etc. The Circle organizes lectures by expert professionals periodically.

It is planning to associate itself with hospitals for lecture demonstrations.


Membership Circle

The members of this Circle are the unsung heroes, the dark room boys of the Society. They carry out efficiently the detailed and arduous job of maintaining membership records, new admissions, separations, collecting membership fees, monitoring members reactions to programmes and the like. The membership fees collection and issue of cards are scheduled from 1st April every year.
