The Equal Opportunity Cell of Assam Agricultural University is a dedicated initiative aimed at fostering inclusivity, equity, and diversity within the university community. This cell works to create a supportive environment that ensures fair treatment and equal access to opportunities for all students, staff, and stakeholders, particularly focusing on marginalized and underrepresented groups such as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), Persons with Disabilities (PWD), and economically weaker sections. It undertakes initiatives to address grievances, eliminate discrimination, and promote awareness about equality and inclusivity through workshops, seminars, and outreach programs. By implementing affirmative actions and policies, the cell strives to empower individuals, bridge social and economic gaps, and create a nurturing atmosphere where everyone can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the university's vision and mission.
Constituted with the approval of the Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, Assam Agricultural University (Office of the Registrar, AAU, Jorhat) to oversee the effective implementation of policies and programmes for disadvantaged groups, provide guidance and counseling with respect to academic, financial, social and other matters, and enhance diversity within the campus across all colleges and stations under AAU.
