Outdoor experiences and adventures play a vital role in shaping an individual’s strengths and understanding their limits. Our Adventure Club was started to achieve this very goal for the students of SSMRV. We believe in breaking boundaries and overcoming setbacks with a positive approach, and our adventure club encourages the students to do the same. Through outdoor activities and adventure sports, we ensure our students keep moving forward — boldly and fearlessly.
The Civil Defence Unit is a voluntary organisation comprised of individuals who come together to lessen the impact of disasters — whether natural, such as earthquakes and floods, or man-made, like air raids or civil disturbances. Its core purpose is to save lives, minimise property damage and ensure the swift restoration of essential services and normalcy following a crisis. By responding promptly and effectively, the units provide continued protection and support to civilians during emergencies.
The Importance of Civil Defence
In times of crisis, psychological warfare aims to spread fear, cause panic and demoralise the population. Civil defence plays a vital role in preventing this by reinforcing the morale and determination of the public. It is a reminder that, as citizens, we are equally responsible for protecting the dignity, safety and freedom of our country. Civil defence empowers individuals to be vigilant, proactive and resilient in the face of adversity.
SSMRV firmly believes in protecting the environment and preserving ecological resources. The Eco Club is a step towards this shared vision. The club aims to spread awareness and educate both students and the wider community about the importance of nurturing our natural habitat. Students and members of the club, also known as Green Ambassadors, initiate activities such as planting saplings, conducting awareness drives, collecting and safely disposing of e-waste and more. Occasions like Wetland Conservation Day and World Water Day are celebrated to highlight the importance of environmental protection among students and teachers alike.

SSMRV’s National Service Scheme (NSS) is an active unit that continuously works to help students understand and engage with their community.
