Anti-Ragging Cell

The forum aims at inculcating discipline among the students and to take appropriate action against those who are violating them. The forum also organizes awareness sessions on anti-ragging and behavioral etiquettes.

The Discipline and Anti-Ragging Cell, established according to the regulations of the UGC, is the moral police of our college. The Cell's responsibility is to ensure that students maintain discipline in the classrooms and within the college campus. Members of the cell regularly go on rounds to each and every classroom to make note of errant behavior and to make sure that the college campus is free from ragging and eve-teasing.

Cultural Committee

Since the college's reopening, the cultural committee of MSRCASC has been quite active. In addition to intellectual and social opportunities, we expose our students to a wide range of additional experiences. They have a variety of options to network and create opportunities for themselves, including lectures, seminars, get-togethers, cultural festivals, social campus events, volunteer and community activities, conferences, and career fairs. These occasions also lead to the development of social and professional ties with their connections from the cultural event so that everyone can benefit.

Participating in cultural events not only benefits the person in many ways but also the family and the community!

Physical benefits

You engage in physical activity when you engage in activities like moose hunting or dancing. It is commonly recognised that regular exercise is good for your body and can prevent a variety of illnesses and health issues. Eating traditional or cultural meals has significant advantages as well.

Mental health benefits

It is well recognised that cultural connection has a significant role in lowering the risk of mental health conditions like depression and addictive behaviours. Each year, more studies are published that demonstrate how much less probable it is for people to experience issues with substance misuse, depression, or suicide when they have stronger ties to their families and cultures.

Spiritual benefits

The majority of cultural activities promote the wellness of the whole individual by promoting gratitude for what has been given and earned, sharing, respect for the environment, and honouring those who have taught us.

Emotional benefits

A formula for excellent emotional health includes participating in passed-down customs, doing physical exercise, improving one's mental health, and interacting with others. Having a cultural component might boost your happiness and satisfaction because talking and other social activities are already known to stimulate endorphins, which improve mood.

Centre for Holistic Education

A strong need exists to develop a more comprehensive strategy, an enriching fusion of academics and value efforts. The basic core of value education is a comprehensive awareness of this wonderful nation and its amazing culture. The transmission of these tried-and-true principles is what completes education. This moral approach assists children in developing into moral and socially responsible individuals. These enduring principles serve as the cornerstone upon which a country can build its path to prosperity and peace. On October 10, 2014, the Center for Holistic Education was established with this objective in mind. It presents unique lectures and discussions on gender, holistic education, human values, and current concerns impacting the nation's youth. It also hosts activity-based personality development seminars and celebrates days such as Vivekananda Jayanthi, National Youth Day, Gandhi Jayanthi, etc.

Objectives

  • To tap the inner potential by building self-confidence and self-esteem in students
  • To encourage students to work for the benefit of themselves and society.
