In accordance with the guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC), the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, the College has constituted an Anti-Sexual Harassment Redressal Cell, also known as the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC).
The objective of the Cell is to provide a safe, secure and healthy academic environment for students and staff. The Committee is responsible for preventing, prohibiting and addressing issues related to sexual harassment in a confidential, sensitive and impartial manner. It ensures prompt redressal of complaints and promotes awareness about gender sensitization and respectful conduct within the institution.
The Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC) has been established in the College to promote inclusiveness and to ensure equal access to educational opportunities for students belonging to marginalized and disadvantaged sections of society. The Cell provides guidance, support and assistance to students from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), minority communities and other underrepresented groups pursuing education in the institution.
The EOC works towards creating a discrimination-free academic environment by addressing issues related to equity, access and social justice. It also facilitates awareness, counseling and support mechanisms to help students overcome social, economic and educational barriers, thereby enabling their holistic academic and personal development.
The College is committed to providing a student-friendly and supportive learning environment. As part of this commitment, the Counselling Cell has been constituted to promote the emotional, psychological and social well-being of students and to create a conducive atmosphere for holistic development.
The Counselling Cell primarily addresses non-academic and personal concerns of students, while academic issues are handled through the mentoring system. The Cell offers guidance and support to students facing challenges such as self-doubt, peer pressure, stress, career decision-making, relationship issues, confidence building and other personal or social concerns commonly encountered during student life.
Confidentiality is a fundamental and legal requirement of counselling and all interactions with the Counselling Cell are handled with the utmost discretion and sensitivity. The Cell strives to empower students to make informed choices, enhance self-confidence and maintain emotional balance.
“Human Rights are not privileges conferred by government; they are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of being human.”— Mother Teresa
Human rights are inherent to all human beings, irrespective of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status. These rights include, among others, the right to life and liberty, freedom from discrimination, slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression and the right to work and education. Every individual is entitled to these rights without discrimination.
With a commitment to uphold these universal principles, the College has established the Human Rights Protection Cell to promote awareness, understanding and respect for human rights among students. The Cell aims to sensitize students to the importance of human rights in contemporary society and to foster a culture of equality, dignity and social justice within the institution.
The Cell also works towards creating an inclusive and respectful academic environment by encouraging dialogue, awareness programs and initiatives that reinforce human values and ethical responsibility.
