Backward Class and Minority Cell

Backward Class (SC / ST / OBC) and Minority Cell

Introduction:
Government Girls General Degree College has always advocated the spirit of the Indian Constitution to provide equal opportunities to all sections of society in the sphere of higher education, especially to the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) and Minorities who are identified as backward groups. The Backward Class and Minority Cell has been formed to provide every possible support and empower the students of our college belonging to the backward and minority sections.
