Our partners

Sri Ram Ashram
Fieldwork will take place at Sri Ram Ashram outside Haridwar, India, a Hindu holy site on the banks of the Ganges River in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. The ashram provides a rich opportunity for MRU students to participate in the daily life at this home for abandoned and orphaned children, and to complete projects in community development, communications child development, alternative communities, impacts of poverty, and the role of religion among many possibilities. Sri Ram Ashram is active on Facebook if you would like to access great photos and stories. The ashram also runs a website, located here.

Lovely Professional University
Our second partner is LPU a university in the Punjab region, just outside the city of Jalandhar. Staff at LPU work closely with us to develop a week of cultural activities for our group including lectures and guided tours to significant sites such as the Golden Temple in Amritsar, and the mountain city of Dharamsala, a centre of Tibetan and Buddhist culture.

Tour company support
We will have support via a tour company in Delhi. We have worked with Naresh Mahra since 2012.
Naresh not only helps us coordinate visits to the markets, mosques and historic forts of New Delhi, India’s capital city, he is also happy to help you arrange travel prior to or following field school. You may contact him independently, reminding him you are with the MRU group.

Iniskim Centre
Mount Royal University’s Iniskim Centre has been instrumental in helping India Field School participants prepare to journey together and also come together as our journey concludes. The Medicine Trail Program coordinator helps everyone embrace the importance of cultural awareness through ceremony and knowledge sharing.

Mount Royal University International Education
Our field school is made possible because of MRU’s commitment to international education. Field school participants will enjoy a host of resources by studying International’s website, and also by talking with the coordinator, Trinda Guillet, who will join us from time to time in the lead-up to departure. Trinda’s email address is tguillet@mtroyal.ca.
