Social Outreach & Enabling Centre

Social Outreach is an integral part of our educational programme. The Social Outreach & Enabling Centre is a Fergusson College initiative started in 2010 to give an opportunity to the students to work with various civil society organisations. We consider it our duty to uphold the human rights of all disadvantaged sections of society. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to empower the underprivileged to become self reliant so that they can live with respect and dignity. 

In this endeavour, we are guided by certain universal and enduring values like compassion, tolerance, democracy, peace, justice, equality, pluralism, and cooperation.

Objectives

  • To sensitize the students to the world of deprivation, social exclusion and marginalization.
  • To engage students in meaningful service that meets community needs.
  • To instill a sense of social responsibility in students.
  • To equip the students with skills, attitudes and knowledge to work with the poor and needy
