About the Equal Opportunity Cell

The main challenges faced by individuals perceived as disabled, or those with disabilities, or from minority communities, arise from disabling environmental, economic, and cultural barriers. Disability and minority status are therefore considered equal rights issues, comparable to other forms of unjustifiable discrimination and prejudices. Recognizing this, the We established the Equal Opportunity Cell to address and mitigate these critical issues.

• Promote Inclusivity: To foster an environment of inclusivity and equality, ensuring equal opportunities for all students, especially those belonging to SC, ST, OBC, and persons with disabilities (PwD).

• Empower Marginalized Groups: To empower students from minority and underprivileged backgrounds through skill development, counseling, and academic support.
• Raise Awareness: To conduct workshops and awareness programs to sensitize the college community about the challenges faced by marginalized groups and the importance of equality.
• Policy Implementation: To ensure the implementation of affirmative action policies and promote fairness in the admission process, resource allocation, and extracurricular activities.
