STUDENT DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL(SDC)

 

The establishment of a Student Development Council and Welfare gives students an opportunity to acquire the sort of communication, planning and organizational skills which will benefit them in honing their personality and professional conduct. It enables students to take responsibility for projects, and to demonstrate that they can manage and bring such projects to successful conclusion. Moreover, the contribution made by a Student Council and Welfare to the development of college policy in a number of areas can have significant benefits for students and the college. College policies are far more likely to be successful where they are clearly understood and accepted by all partners within the community. At the end of the day, a Student Council will succeed only if students themselves are committed to the concept and to making it to work.
