Development and Immersion Programs
VEDIKE runs short-term volunteer/service learning/study-abroad programs for youth/university and school students. Participants are involved in working on community development programs in rural Bangalore and Chikballapur, such as teaching and assisting local teachers at Vedike Global School and working alongside local masons and labourers to build homes and toilets in the villages surrounding VEDIKE. They can also take part in activities such as classes on Indian culture and development and traveling to different parts of India.
