YAPS was constituted by the department of physics to encourage maximum participation by the students in the administration of various academic activities of the department. The society is named in honour of eminent Physics teacher and scientist late Prof. Yash pal, who was a pioneer in popularising science among the masses of India. A committee of 10 students, who are selected from all three classes of B.Sc, is formed every-year. This committee leads the organization of various activities.
Mission
The society is constituted to help students transform themselves into contributing members of professional community.
Traditional course work develops only a range of skills. Other skills needed to flourish professionally include effective communication and leadership experience. YAPS through its members and leadership undertakes initiatives to instill such values among the students.
