Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been identified as
the two most backward groups of Indian Society. They include all the castes,
races or tribes, which have been socially, economically and educationally
backward. The cell has been established to support and to bring students from
such communities in the main stream.
The Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) Cell promotes the
special interests of students in the reserved category. It provides special inputs
in areas where the students experience difficulties.
The SC/ST cell of the University was established with the purpose to
empower the SC/ST students in the university. The university takes special
interest in facilitating financial support to students from these communities from
government agencies and other sources. They are also encouraged to enroll
for career orientation programs, which would equip them with the necessary
skills to choose a career option.
