Introduction

Scheduled Castes(SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been identified as the two most backward groups of Indian Society. They include all such castes, races or tribes, which have been declared as scheduled castes and scheduled tribes by the Constitution of India under the provisions of Article 341 and 342 of the Constitution of India. Scheduled Castes generally represent those communities, which have suffered from the stigma of untouchability in one form or the other. Scheduled Tribes are generally those who have been living in seclusion in hills and forests, more or less untouched by modern civilization and development.
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 into the mainstream. The SC, ST cell of the college was established in 2024 (as per XII plan of UGC under Equal Opportunity Centre) with the purpose to empower the SC, ST students in the college. The college takes special interest in facilitating financial support to students from these communities from government agencies.
