Pune Lavasa Campus
A Home of Learning, Growth, and Transformation
At CHRIST Lavasa, every student is supported through the moments that matter. Embraced by the lush Sahyadri hills, our campus is where students build their first home away from home, with wardens and counsellors always within reach and ready to listen whenever they are needed.
- 24/7 emergency responseOne number reaches security, medical care, and the hostel team at the same time, so help is coordinated without delay.
- On-campus health supportThe Apollo SHINE health room is staffed day and night, so medical care is available whenever a student needs it.
- Centre for Counselling and Health ServicesA counsellor is only a conversation away, no appointment or referral needed.
The setting
Life in Lavasa. A Place to Grow.

For our students, Lavasa is the place where the university finally feels like home. Set in the Sahyadri hills, it gives them room to breathe between classes, with quiet mornings, engaging activities, and a lake nearby that catches the evening light. Here, a walk by the water is not reserved for the weekend; it is part of an ordinary evening. The hills and the lakefront are not simply scenery; they are part of daily life, and most of the campus is close enough to reach on foot.
The campus sits within the planned township of Lavasa in the Western Ghats, and it becomes a place our students genuinely call home, a place to grow.
Everyday life
Campus Life
Life at CHRIST Lavasa is built around connection: classes in the morning, meals shared with people who begin as strangers and rarely stay that way for long. Evenings often turn into study groups, club meetings, or cultural evenings filled with music, dance, and sport, and a scheduled bus service keeps the residences and academic blocks connected throughout the day, making the campus a safe space for them to plan, grow, and transform themselves.
What we value most is how quickly this becomes a community. Friendships form over shared meals and late nights of study, and faculty, wardens and counsellors know their students well enough to notice when a little extra care would help.
Whenever support is needed, it does not require a formal process. It is a short walk, or a phone call, away.

Centre for Counselling and Health Services
Counselling & Wellbeing
Every student's emotional care and mental health matter to us as much as their academic life. Settling into a new place takes time, and CCHS is here throughout that journey. The Centre for Counselling and Health Services offers an everyday space to talk — open for the ordinary conversations of student life as much as for heavier ones. From adjusting to campus, to friendships, to academic pace, there is always a counsellor here to support you.
Every student has access to a counsellor assigned to their department, and reaching one does not require a form or a reason. A student may walk in directly or be referred by a faculty member, and, either way, receives exactly the same attention. Conversations remain unconditional, impartial and strictly confidential.

Looking after the campus
Safety and Security

Together, a student or a parent always has a clear point of contact.

- Resident wardens live alongside students in every residence.
- The Campus Security team manages access to the university and its residences.
- There is always a clear way to raise a concern, through a warden, a counsellor, or the campus emergency line.
