The Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC), at the Netaji Subhas Open University (NSOU) has been constituted at the behest of the UGC guidelines with a view to ensuring a level platform with regard to opportunities for all the stakeholders of the institution. EOC functions as a friendly reminder to everyone that equity among the citizens of the country remains an important goal to be accomplished with the help and support from one and all. Rather than a rule to be imposed on a society that is unequal in opportunities, it stresses the need to assume equity as a given or as a taken for granted state which in turn would be the stepping stone for a life of dignity for all. The Equal Opportunity Cell with an eye towards making higher education inclusive with the vital element of social consciousness and responsibility is an integral part of a public University. It is our considered belief that a sustainable and healthy development of any social fabric can be achieved only by a society deeply informed by the spirit of equity through equal access to the available resources.
