Introduction:
Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes have been identified as the two most backward
groups of Indian Society. They include all such castes, races or tribes, which
have been declared as scheduled castes and scheduled tribes by the Constitution
of India under the provisions of Article 341 and, 342 of the Constitution of
India. Scheduled Castes generally represent those communities, which have
suffered from the stigma of untouchability in one form or the other. Scheduled
Tribes are generally those who have been living in seclusion in hills and
forests, more or less untouched by modern civilization and development. Rigid
compartmentalized caste system forced SCs to be socially deprived to render
services without any claim on returns. The deprivation of dignity, identity and
rights resulted in their dehumanization and humiliation. The toils and tears of
STs were not very different from those of SCs. The STs were isolated, neglected
and exploited. Both SCs and STs continue to suffer from social disabilities
even today. When India became independent, it committed itself to a socially
just and equal social order. The Constitution of the country, promulgated in
1950, recognizes the scheduled castes and the scheduled tribes as the two most
backward groups needing special protection. A number of provisions have been
made in the Constitution with a view to abolish all forms of discrimination and
put these groups at par with others. As per article 335, the claims of the members
of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes shall be taken into
consideration, consistently with the maintenance of efficiency of
administration, in the making of appointments to services and posts in
connection with the affairs of the Union or State.
SC/ST
Cell in Shri Kala Mahavidyalaya is
established with the purpose of improving the status of these people socially
and educationally and ensuring equal opportunities for them in the college so
that they can take their rightful place in the mainstream of society. The Cell

Kala Mahavidyalaya provides guidance to
these students in facilitating financial support in the form of scholarship and
freeship from the government and the college. Students are also encouraged to
enroll for career orientation programs, which would equip them with the
necessary skills to choose a career option.
