Equal Opportunity Cell

Our Constitution has enshrined democratization as one of the main objectives of education. Since higher education is a tool for social and economic equality, the UGC has been addressing national concerns of access, equality by implementing policies of the Government of India and promoting several schemes and programmes for the disadvantaged groups that would help in eliminating social disparities. Therefore, the UGC has planned to establish Equal Opportunity Centres in colleges for eradication of social disparities.
