Equal Opportunity Cell

St. Stephen’s College is committed to provide a suitable enabling environment to all students with special needs and those from deprived backgrounds. Equal Opportunity Cell of the college is mandated to take necessary steps in this direction. More than half of college students are from minority status, SC/ST background, and are physically challenged. All these students are entitled to services offered by the Equal Opportunity Cell. The ground floor of college main building and its rest rooms are wheel chair accessible, and every care is taken that all classes of orthopedically challenged students are held in accessible areas. College library has specialized equipment like Jaws and Zoom-Ex for visually challenged students. These students can also issue out MP3 recording equipment. The student volunteers of college Social Service League provide regular reading and examination writer services to visually challenged students. The EOC also organizes Academic Help Center for students who need extra help with their course work. The Center is run by a dedicated group of senior student volunteers who have excelled in their studies and are committed to help others. A novel endeavour of the EOC this year was an exposure trip to NIVH, Dehra Doon, for visually challenged students and a hike from Rajpur to Mussoorie to help them experience outdoor adventure.
