SC, ST and Minority Cell

The Gudlavalleru Engineering College (GEC) is committed to providing an environment that promotes diversity and respects everyone regardless of colour, religious belief or cultures. While maintaining the diversity of all kinds, it also commits to ensuring the protection of everyone including minorities and acting as per the provisions of the constitution of India in such matters. In order to create a living and working environment where all students feel safe and respected, there is a need to establish an SC, ST and Minorities Cell with the following objectives: 

To counsel and guide SC, ST and Minority students studying at GEC on various issues and help them to manage academic and personal demands of a GEC life effectively. 

To ensure provisions for an environment where all such students feel safe and secure. 

To provide prompt counselling for any emotional emergencies arising on account of any events at the campus. 

To provide a mechanism to redress the grievances of SC, ST and minority students, if any. 

To ensure protection and reservation as provided in the constitution of India. 

To arrange for special opportunities to enhance the career growth of these students such as through various clubs. 

The SC/ ST and Minorities Cell will provide comprehensive preventive and proactive services to all such students enrolled for various academic programmes in the college. The goal of the cell would be to enhance the psychological wellbeing of SC/ ST and Minority students at GEC so they can take full advantage of the educational opportunities at the college. The guidelines of UGC will be adopted from time to time. 

A committee for SC/ST is established as per the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989 No.33 dated 11/09/1989) as per AICTE norms. Following are the members:
