Bengaluru : Kshemavana SDM Institute of Naturopathy & Yogic Sciences, near Nelamangala, has launched industry oriented B.Voc (Bachelor of Vocation) programs with the objective of empowering youth through skill based, employment focused education rooted in holistic values and practical training.
The initiative reflects the visionary educational philosophy of Padma Vibhushana Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, whose lifelong commitment has been to make education socially relevant, value based, accessible, and capable of transforming rural youth into self reliant professionals. His vision emphasizes that education must not remain confined to classrooms alone, but should equip students with life skills, professional competence, and social responsibility.
The newly introduced B.Voc programs are designed in accordance with the UGC skill education policy, integrating academic learning with industry training, internships, and hands-on experience. Kshemavana is proud to be among the pioneering institutions in India to implement such comprehensive skill-based B.Voc programs in the wellness and hospitality sectors.
The institution also draws inspiration from the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has repeatedly emphasized the importance of skill development in nation-building. As the Prime Minister has stated, “Skill development is the foundation for empowering youth and transforming India into a global talent hub.” The programs at Kshemavana aim to translate this vision into meaningful educational opportunities for students, especially those from rural and semi-urban backgrounds.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, traditional education alone is often insufficient to meet industry demands. Recognizing this gap, Kshemavana has introduced vocational education that combines practical exposure with holistic learning, thereby enhancing employability and entrepreneurship opportunities for students.

This program provides intensive training in Panchakarma therapies, naturopathy, yoga, holistic wellness, lifestyle management, and nutrition.
