Directorate of Students' Welfare (DSW) serves as a unifying force in the campus life of all members of UAP - students, faculty, staff and alumni. It is responsible for arranging co-curricular and extracurricular activities regularly for the university. The DSW funds and monitors some clubs which are interdepartmental. These are considered central clubs which may have links with other departmental clubs.
Central Clubs are supervised by advisors, who are faculty members of UAP and take keen interest in club activities. The clubs in general give opportunities to students to hone their organizational, management and leadership skills. Often the club activities go beyond UAP premise to broader public realm to give students chances to intermingle with society and hence become part of a larger whole.
