OBC Cell The establishment of the OBC Cell, initiated following a recommendation from the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), reflects a deep commitment to addressing the unique challenges and concerns encountered by OBC (Other Backward Classes) students. The core mission of the OBC Cell is to create an inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment within the institution, designed to uplift OBC students. This entails providing them with essential resources, guidance, and opportunities to excel academically, make informed career choices, and ensure their overall well-being. The OBC Cell operates with the following key objectives:
1. Promoting Educational Equality: The foremost objective of the OBC Cell is to actively promote and ensure equal educational opportunities for OBC students within the institution.
2. Counseling and Guidance: The cell is dedicated to offering counseling and guidance services to OBC students, aiding them in effectively managing the academic and personal challenges of college life.
3. Creating a Safe and Inclusive Environment: The OBC Cell is committed to establishing a safe and inclusive environment where every OBC student feels secure and can fully engage in college life.
4. Emotional Support: Prompt counseling and support are readily available through the OBC Cell for any emotional emergencies arising from campus events, ensuring the overall well-being of OBC students. It also serves as a grievance redressal mechanism, ensuring that any concerns or grievances voiced by OBC students are heard and appropriately resolved.
5. Facilitating Financial Support: Another vital function of the cell is to facilitate financial assistance for students from OBC communities. This includes assisting them in accessing funding from governmental agencies and various other sources to help alleviate financial burdens on their educational journey.
