Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Groups (SEDGs) Cell
The cell will work to ensure inclusiveness, equal access, support services, and safe environments for students from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, such as SC/ST/OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), minority communities, economically weaker sections (EWS), first-generation learners, and students with disabilities.
The cell helps the students to optimally utilise the benefits of the schemes offered by the State Government and the Government of India. The SC/ST cell of the college strives to ensure that officials/faculty members of our institution refrain from any act of discrimination against SC/ST students on the grounds of their social origin. Further, the Cell ensures that no official/faculty members of our college indulge in any kind of discrimination against any student belonging to SC/ST community
