Introduction

SGT University believes that student well-being is more than academic success and encompasses cultural, social, emotional, and personal development as well.

In order to form a comfortable bridge between the management and the students of the university, the office headed by Prof. (Dr.) Vijay Sharma as the Dean of Students' Welfare (DSW) was established.

The student welfare center keeps working closely with accredited bodies like the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and UGC for programs like Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and the FIT India Movement. It also conducts many social initiatives and awareness programs on topics like female foeticide, ragging, and human rights.

What SWC does @SGT!

1. Extra-Curricular Activities

SGT University is a mosaic of bustling activities, adventures, and cultural events! There are a variety of recreational clubs/ societies that engage and propagate these events to make the campus a happening and thriving place. These extra-curricular activities enhance learning capabilities and encourage holistic development while at the same time ensuring a fun and stress-relieving environment for the students. Club activities have been incorporated into the academic curriculum to encourage and motivate students to actively participate.

Students can participate in extracurricular and developmental activities by identifying those who are talented and interested in the areas of music, dance, literature, fashion, arts, social responsibility, theatre, photography, and health. This will help them develop holistically by nurturing their individual talent and providing them with a supportive environment to plan and execute various activities in the said areas. Various cultural fests are organized from time to time within the campus. The major fests worth mentioning are Radha Krishna Sang Phoolon ki Holi, Hariyali Teej, Janmashtami & Dahi Handi Utsav, Diwali Mela and Christmas are the big affairs where the students showcase their talent on stage.

3.PRABANDHAN - The Student Council of SGT University

The Students' Council of SGT University solely run by the students, works to execute the events, festivals, seminars, workshops, concerts, conventions, and annual fests through meticulous planning. The council involves studying the concepts and themes of the event, identifying its target audience, and coordinating the technical aspects followed by mock drills before actually launching the event.

The process of planning and coordinating the event also includes budgeting, arrangement, site selection, acquiring necessary permits, coordinating transportation and parking, arranging for speakers or entertainers, arranging decor, event security, catering, coordinating with third-party vendors, and emergency plans.

Each event is different in its nature so the process of planning & amp; execution of each event differs from one to another. Events build social and business relationships and give their members the opportunity to meet and interact with different members.

4.Student Counselling Cell

Students are not alone in encountering difficulties and University has a range of people who can help to support them. Most of the time, one can get support from the friends or family, but sometimes friends or family members are not the right person to help, or the student might not want to overburden them or to share the problem with them. These are two reasons why the University has people with designated welfare role. The Office of Students' Welfare has established a dedicated cell to accommodate students' mental well-being and offers student counselling to address their problems with the assurance to keep it confidential.
