In adherence to the directives of the University Grants Commission (UGC), the institution has established an internal committee tasked with overseeing complaints related to caste-based discrimination from students, faculty members, and non-faculty members belonging to SC/ST/OBC communities. The committee's primary responsibility is to ensure that individuals within the institution refrain from any discriminatory actions against members of the SC/ST/OBC communities based on their social origin. It is imperative that no faculty members, non-faculty members, or students engage in any form of discrimination against any community or category.
A Caste-Based Discrimination Redressal Cell in a college plays a crucial role in promoting inclusivity, diversity, and a discrimination-free environment. The objectives of such a cell are multifaceted, aiming to address and eliminate caste-based discrimination while fostering a culture of equality and respect.
