Some join a sports team, others join a variety of societies, but it is those very few individuals who have the courage to make a difference and run a society. Societies at university level hold regular events for their members. However, only a handful of societies take it that step further and provide students with the opportunity to develop physically, mentally and spiritually; NHSF (UK) societies are within this minority.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that comes to mind when a student hears about the \u2018Hindu Society\u2019 is, \u201cAll they do is Aarti\u201d. However, evidence suggests that NHSF (UK) affiliated Hindu Societies are going above and beyond events, by providing members with a whole new Hindu student university experience.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--> Most Hindu Societies have weekly, monthly and annual events, which committee members spend their whole academic year planning. Events include learning events to develop and engage the minds of young Hindu students, sewa events to give something back to the samaj, sports training to ensure students have a healthy body as well as healthy mind, trips to local Mandir\u2019s and NHSF (UK) National and Zonal events which unite and bring together NHSF (UK) members from across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, NHSF (UK) university societies are gaining recognition from their Students\u2019 Union for all their hard work, efforts and dedication by achieving the utmost prestigious awards at University and Student Union Award Ceremonies. The seeds which these committee members have sown continue to grow and develop as shown by their outstanding achievements below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF BCU <\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">&#8211; President achieving Honorary Lifetime Membership in recognition to outstanding service to the Students&#8217; Union.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Coventry<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Best Faith Society, Best President, Best Event, as well as three committee members winning the Full Colours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Loughborough<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Best Activity of the year for Raising Awareness of a Global Cause.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Nottingham<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Best Performance Event (Joint with Asian Society).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Portsmouth<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Fundraiser of the Year and Society of the Year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Reading<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Most creative stall during fresher\u2019s fayre<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">NHSF Sheffield<\/b><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\"> &#8211; Best Faith Society.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, good luck to NHSF (UK) Leicester following their nomination for Faith Society of the Year. We hope that all new committee members take pride in NHSF (UK) achievements and continue to provide themselves and their members the opportunities and experiences which they will carry with them throughout their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mayur Shikotra Events Team Coordinator During a student\u2019s time at university, somewhere between all their studying, procrastination and sleeping, they find the time to do something spectacular.
