Anti-Ragging Committee comprises of 21 members and a few student representatives. This committee helps in maintaining a ragging-free campus so that students enjoy their stay in the campus. The college can proudly say that there has been no ragging incident in the past few years.
The committee members are vigilant at any point of time and they are watchful particularly at trigger points like canteen, restrooms and hostel. Committee members are posted during breaks at the trigger points to ensure there is no ragging. The students are made aware of the Anti-Ragging Committee and its policies and whom to approach in case of them being a witness, during the Orientation as a first year student.
The Vice-Principal is the Head of the Committee. Any complaints can be brought either through the HoDs or staff members. Any student can also at any point of time bring a complaint to the Vice Principal, Dean (Student Affairs), or Student Counsellor. Wherever possible, immediate action is taken to resolve the issue. At the least, the Committee ensures that any kind of grievance is resolved within the target date set. If further investigation is required, a separate Enquiry Committee is appointed by Principal according to the intensity or character of the complaint.
The students are made aware of the Committee and its function during the Fresher’s Orientation Day… This gives a secured / stress free environment to the students and makes learning better.
College life carries good memories throughout our life. But it can be stressful and challenging too. Students may have personal or academic difficulties. They may feel confused as from whom to seek help and the person who offers help also needs to be non-threatening and non-judgemental.
To overcome all these situations and difficulties, to make sure a smooth transition from school to college and to make college life memorable, KCG College of Technology has a Student Counselling centre @ the campus. The counselling service helps the students to share their feelings, concerns, discuss their problems with a professionally qualified person in a confidential set up and facilitate them to arrive at a solution or an alternative or to cope with or overcome the difficulties.
Other Activities of the Counselling Centre
• Conducting class sessions on life skills, study skills, handling emotions and other topics as per the need of the class
• Group counselling
• Motivational sessions
• Enriching teachers with counselling skills and sessions as per need.
*The service is offered during the working hours of the college on all working days.
