Co-Curricular
Co-curricular life at UWC Mahindra College (MUWCI) is not organised for students. It is organised by them. Clubs, performances, conferences, and sports initiatives are proposed, planned, and run by students, with faculty as mentors rather than managers. What exists on campus at any given time reflects what the current community has decided to build.
Experiential learning
The heart of a MUWCI education is not the lecture — it is the project, the trek, the seminar, the village. Students are challenged to think independently, care purposefully, and act on what they learn.

Interdisciplinary seminars where subjects, staff and two years of questions meet. Every student takes three.
Outdoor Education
Hiking, trekking, kayaking and camping across the Sahyadris — a classroom you can't sit still in.
Grants-based projects
Student-led initiatives, funded to act on what you learn — from the village school to campus rewilding.
The Triveni Programme
The Triveni Programme is the framework within which most co-curricular activity at MUWCI sits. It is unique to the college and runs alongside the IB Diploma. It has three parts: an enhanced CAS programme with a strong emphasis on service learning; a series of experiential learning weeks both on campus and across India; and a year-round calendar of campus events that includes Regional Weeks, Seminar Series, and Experts-in-Residence visits.
The Triveni Programme shapes what CAS means at MUWCI in practice. Students are not given a menu of pre-arranged activities to tick off. They choose a level of engagement, take on leadership where they want it, and are expected to reflect on what they are learning as they go.
Experiential learning weeks
Experience India Week
First-year students begin the programme with Experience India Week: a series of off-campus trips across the country designed to introduce students to India's geography, culture, history, and politics. Students are expected to engage actively, not observe passively. The week is structured around themes including development, nature, language, and social change.
Project Week
Project Week is an extension of students' regular service learning. First-year students work with NGO partners across India on projects they have independently initiated, researched, planned, and pitched. Partners cover a wide range of causes, including children's rights, biodiversity, human rights, sustainable living, and cultural preservation. At the end of Project Week, students present their work in a public showcase. The process is considered as important as the output.
