SC/ST Cell: Dhing College
Dhing Nagaon Assam

Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been identified as the two most backward groups of Indian Society. They include all the castes, races or tribes, which have been socially, economically and educationally backwards. The cell at our Dhing college in Nagaon has been established to support and bring students from such communities in the mainstream

The SC/ST cell of Dhing College was established in June 2020 with the purpose to empower the SC/ST students in the college. The College takes a special interest in facilitating financial support to students belonging to these communities from government agencies and other sources. They are also encouraged to enrol on career orientation programs, which would equip them with the necessary skills to choose a career option.

The cell will also look into the implementation of reservations in admissions to courses at our college for SC/ST students.
