The UMD HSC is geared towards discussing, promoting, and understanding the Hindu religion, both on campus and in the surrounding community. In addition to addressing Hinduism on campus and in the community-at-large, the HSC is also geared towards assisting charitable organizations whose focus remains on development in rural parts of India. Our major events throughout the year include a garba to kick off the start of Navratri, several general body meetings, trips to local temples, an annual Diwali puja, Holi celebrations, and other charity events.
