On 10 and 11 January 2026, the 5th edition of School Bell Camp 2025–26 was successfully conducted with the objective of promoting community engagement, educational support, and social responsibility among student volunteers. The camp was organised under the NSS Cell of Presidency University in collaboration with Yuvak Sangha and the Campus to Community initiative.

A total of 48 student volunteers from Presidency University actively participated in the camp, comprising 25 girls and 23 boys. The two-day residential camp covered two government schools, with one school being engaged each day. The volunteers worked with great enthusiasm, teamwork, and dedication, creating a positive and encouraging learning environment for school children.

During the camp, volunteers were involved in a variety of activities aimed at the holistic development of students and the improvement of school infrastructure. These activities included classroom beautification, painting, interactive learning sessions, cleanliness drives, and engaging students through fun and educational activities. The camp strongly emphasised the importance of education, hygiene, discipline, and community bonding.
