SEDGs include students disadvantaged due to gender, caste, economic status, disability, minority identity, geographic location, and vulnerable socio-economic conditions. These groups face systemic barriers in accessing quality higher education.
The key objectives are:
Improving equitable access to higher education
Providing academic, financial, and socio-emotional support
Ensuring safe, inclusive, and discrimination-free campuses
Establishing institutional mechanisms for monitoring, sensitization, and grievance redressal
