Nashik Institutions Establish 'Kumbh Cells' for Simhastha 2027

Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority (NTKMA) has directed educational institutions in Nashik to establish dedicated 'Kumbh Cells' for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027.

Students can register by scanning the designated QR code and completing the online registration form. They will be required to provide their basic details and educational institution information.

The Kumbh Cell in each institution will serve as the primary point of coordination with NTKMA. It will facilitate student volunteer mobilisation, organise Swachh Kumbh and Harit Kumbh campaigns, and coordinate volunteer training and deployment.

The Cell will also manage information and help desks, support crowd and queue management, promote plastic-free and eco-friendly initiatives, and encourage digital volunteering and social media awareness.

NTKMA Commissioner Shekhar Singh said that the success of the event will depend significantly on the enthusiasm, discipline, and commitment of student volunteers.

Establishing a Kumbh Cell in every educational institution will enable systematic planning, training, and coordination well before the Mela.

The initiative follows an online review meeting chaired by NTKMA Commissioner Shekhar Singh, where representatives of educational institutions discussed a collaborative framework for engaging students in volunteer services.

Educational institutions have been requested to nominate a nodal officer and share the officer's details with NTKMA to facilitate regular coordination and planning.
