The Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC) was set up by Government General Degree College, Mangalkote in January 2023, in accordance with the UGC ‘Guidelines for Scheme of Equal Opportunity Centre for Colleges XII Plan (2012-2017). The Constitution of India, in Articles 14-18, provide for the equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters of education, employment opportunity, equality before law and equal protection of the laws, irrespective of gender, socio-economic background, class, caste, place of residence, place of birth and language.
