MATRUCHAYA
Under this head three members committee has been formed to look in to the problems of the girl students. It is commonly observed that female students are most of the time under certain mental pressures due to the circumstantial grounds wherein they are being brought up. As our aim states we should accommodate the students from the poor community, most of the students are deprived of healthy food containing vitamins, minerals, folic acid, iron etc. which are a must for their body building. The College here by provides the multi vitamins tablets, tonics, iron supplements, vitamins and minerals tablets to ensure proper hemoglobin at least at the basic standard levels. The girl students are provided with good quality sanitary napkins, machines for destroying the same etc. In such a way, female students of our college are nurtured and protected from any possible ailments under our banner MATRUCHAYA.
