College moving to the community

• The college functionaries reached the target community at  Kundura, Nuaguda, Kaudiaguda with all the necessary papers for the admission process so that the intending students from these areas need not take the difficult communications to travel to the college for the purpose.
• As the Banks and post offices are distant places for many of these intending students and are also difficult accesses for them, the college received cash as programme fees from the students and sent the same to IGNOU in the form of Draft on its own

Helping the needy students

• Arranged application forms and other documents for the fee waiving of the  S C/S T community students.
• Arranged the stay of the students of remote places on the days of late classes and Examinations in its dormitories.

• Conducted classes in groups at different timings as opted by the students
• Scheduled classes during Sundays and holidays for the benefit of the learners engaged in different professions.

Personality & Soft-Skill Development

• The students from the Tribal and other backward community needed special efforts for their soft-skill & personality development. The college took the help of a consultant in soft-skill & personality development for the purpose.
• Workshops in soft-skill & personality development were held for the benefit of the students in general and the tribal students in particular.

Teaching-learning at the community

• Keeping in view the socio-economic conditions of the rural tribal students of the remote region teaching classes were held at the community( Kaudiaguda-Kundra)
