In the pursuit of its objective, cultural and intellectual activities are held. In addition, the Committee also organises workshops, seminars, lectures, demonstrations and stage performances on various topics relating to Humanities for the community of Manipal University and the general public.  The activities are informal and are intended to sensitize the academic world to other dimensions of human experience and knowledge, with the hope that this would enrich the lives of students and make them aware of their social responsibilities and understand the implications of their actions.

The Committee’s activities are also aimed to orient them towards standards of equality, justice and a humanist culture.  These activities are held throughout the year and eminent people in their respective fields are invited from all over India and abroad to take part in these programmes. 

Some of the areas picked by the Committee to provide exposure to the students are:

1. Local theatrical arts
2. Literature, music, painting, cinema and other fine arts
3. History and philosophy of science
4. Cultural responses to globalization
5. Ecology and environment
6. Culture, religion and philosophy
7. Functional knowledge of local and foreign languages

All students who are interested to participate in these events can contact their Institutional Staff Cultural Coordinator, who is the link between the University Cultural Coordination Committee and concerned institution. Students can register their names to receive communication on email regarding various programmes organized by the Committee. Upcoming artistes in the field of classical music, dance etc. can also utilize the opportunity provided by the Committee to showcase their talents by registering their names with the Institutional Cultural Coordinator.
