Mission

The mission of the Equal Opportunity Cell is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of university life. We aim to create a campus culture that celebrates differences, values diversity, and fosters a sense of belonging for every individual.

Objectives

Promote Inclusivity and Diversity

Create an inclusive campus environment where students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds feel welcomed, respected, and valued. This involves actively supporting underrepresented groups, including those based on race, gender, disability, socioeconomic status, and other identities.

Conduct Training and Awareness Programs

Conduct regular workshops, seminars, and training sessions to educate the college community about principles of equal opportunity, diversity issues, and the significance of fostering a non-discriminatory environment. This approach is essential for raising awareness and sensitizing the community to these matters. 

Monitor and Evaluate Institutional Practices

Regularly assess and review the college's policies, practices, and programs to ensure they foster equal opportunity. This includes gathering feedback and making necessary improvements to enhance equity and access for all members of the college community.
