Message of DEAN (SW)

Dean – Students' Welfare
Objective of the Division
- The primary objective of the ODSW is to address and effectively solve various student related matters. DSW is a bridge between students and authorities at GNLU. ODSW has to maintain a balance between student’s demands/problems and find feasible solutions provided by the authorities.
- Developing a suitable system in which complaints of students with respect to hostel/campus infrastructure will be attended to, by the maintenance staff in timely manner. Taking care of the needs of the students and making suggestions to the management based on the same.
- Since food is the most primitive form of comfort, ODSW in conjunction with the Mess Committee is committed to maintain the quality and taste of the food served in the mess and cafeteria. Complaints of students related to the mess facilities will be considered and appropriate steps for solving them will be taken. Quality checks in the mess and cafeteria are conducted on regular basis. Infrastructure of Mess, Cafe (Night Mess), utensils, and water requirements are taken care of as well.
- As students belong to different states, countries, cultures and religions, various on-campus cultural events are to be conducted; these events will make students aware of the culture and customs of others and further encourage them to celebrate different festivals together and know each other better. The campus should act as a melting pot for different cultures.
- The Office of the Students’ Welfare is geared towards embarking on a large number of activities for the benefit of the student community.
- This Office, in addition, aims to develop community life in the campus to ensure holistic development, an inclusive atmosphere and general welfare of the students.

About GNLU Student Mentorship Programme (GSMP)
Dear Students, Greetings from the Students Welfare and Grievance Redressal Committee. An important part of the mission of the SWGRC is to improve the quality of the student experience at GNLU. To this end, we spend a lot of time talking with students about their concerns and soliciting their suggestions for ways to improve their experience. Based on the inputs of some of your friends, we are coming up with a new system of mentorship for students: the GNLU Student Mentorship Programme (GSMP), which will work in conjunction with the existing Faculty mentorship programme. Mentoring is a particular form of relationship designed to provide personal and professional support to an individual. The mentor is generally more experienced than the mentee and makes use of that experience in a facilitative way to support the development of the mentee. The mentoring relationship provides a developmental opportunity for both parties and can thus be of mutual benefit. In a nutshell, a student mentor's role may be perceived to be facilitative, supportive and developmental for the student community in general. Thus, I request you to carefully go through the attached Guidelines and apply to be a part of GSMP at the earliest. All relevant details about the programme are mentioned in the Guidelines. I hope that this initiative fundamentally helps the students realize the immense opportunities available at GNLU, dream big and achieve the same with the assistance of each other, thereby building a strong and mature GNLU student community. I solicit your support in making this programme successful and in our collective endevour to make our GNLU an even better place. Sincerely, Dr. Sugnesh Chudasama,Dean – Students’ Welfare
