For parents, the decision to send their child to a residential college is often filled with anxiety. “Will my child eat properly?” “Is it safe?” “What if they fall sick?” At NPUC Chikkaballapura, we don’t just educate students; we act as their local guardians. Here is how we address the three pillars of parental concern.
1. Safety & Security: Our Top Priority
We understand that safety is non-negotiable.
- Gated Campus: Our 100-acre campus is fully fenced and guarded. Unauthorized entry is impossible.
- 24/7 CCTV: Strategic surveillance ensures that common areas are monitored round the clock.
- Separated Hostels: Boys’ and Girls’ hostels are in separate zones with dedicated wardens who reside in the respective blocks.
- Digital Logs: Parents are informed if a student is granted permission to leave campus (which is only allowed with parental consent).
2. Nutrition: A “Home-Style” Menu
Adolescents need high-quality fuel for their growing brains and bodies.
- Hygienic Kitchen: Our mega-kitchen maintains 5-star hygiene standards.
- Balanced Diet: The menu is planned by nutritionists. It includes milk, fresh vegetables, fruits, and proteins. We avoid excessive spices or oil to ensure students remain healthy.
- Feedback Loop: The ‘Food Committee’, comprising student representatives, meets weekly to suggest menu changes.
3. Health & Medical Support
Health issues can happen, but panic shouldn’t.
- On-Campus Medical Center: We have a fully equipped clinic with a qualified nurse available on campus.
- Visiting Doctors: Doctors visit the campus regularly for health check-ups.
- Emergency Response: A dedicated Ambulance is parked on campus 24/7. In case of any serious issue, we are minutes away from the nearest multi-specialty hospital in Chikkaballapura.
4. Emotional Well-being
Homesickness is real.
- Our wardens act as “parents away from home”.
- We have counselors who talk to students feeling low or stressed.
- We encourage regular communication with parents (during designated times) to keep the family bond strong.
We Are Family
At NPUC, your child is not just a roll number; they are part of our extended family. You can rest easy knowing they are in safe hands.
