Go to top

The Students' Central Association coordinates the cultural and social activities in the College. It is an asset to the college in the maintenance of decorum/discipline in the college; arrangement of various college functions, etc. The SCA is an important link in the redressal of students' grievances.

The Students' Central Association guards the best interests of the students. Our approach in this matter is reflected right from the way we use the idea of students' election. We work from the belief that early exposure of the students to electoral process is a good idea, provided it is taken up in the right manner. In our college we have reduced the intervention of the political groupings to the minimum level.

No doubt the student groups have affiliation with the student bodies of political parties. The difference we make is that we involve all students in the matters of their immediate interest thus leaving them no space to peddle the bad practices of the professional politicians. These have no impact on our students as they are made to strictly adhere to necessary election codes. Our students contest the most peaceful election without taking recourse to the mean methods of influencing the voters.

Once the elected body is put in place, all types of election fever and rivalries are forgotten once and for all and even those students who have lost in the contest continue to get full attention if they bring up the genuine problems concerning the students.
