OUR STORY

EVERY STEP

MATTERS.

What began as a student-led initiative at Manipal Academy of Higher Education has grown into a movement that brings together students, alumni, families, athletes and communities from across India and beyond.

Now entering its 9th edition, the Manipal Marathon is more than a race. It is a celebration of health, inclusivity and community, where every runner has a story, every supporter has a role, and every step moves us forward.

From Campus to Community, the journey continues with one simple belief:

Every journey begins with a step. Every step has an impact. Every step matters.

VOLUNTEER SERVICES ORGANIZATION (VSO)

FROM CAMPUS

TO COMMUNITY.

The Volunteer Services Organization (VSO) is the volunteering and community engagement platform of Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), created to foster a strong culture of volunteerism, social responsibility, and community engagement among students, faculty, and staff.

With a network of 2,000+ registered student volunteers, VSO provides opportunities to contribute time, knowledge, and skills to real-world social and environmental challenges. Every week, more than 250 volunteers participate in around 15 regular projects covering areas such as beach cleaning, environmental conservation, education and mentoring, healthcare outreach, elderly care, special schools, and animal welfare.

Beyond volunteering, VSO encourages students to step outside the classroom and develop valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, empathy, and problem-solving. Through these experiences, students gain a deeper understanding of communities and social challenges while learning to become responsible citizens and create meaningful change.
