SR University is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable learning ecosystem where every individual - regardless of background, identity, or ability - receives equal opportunities to thrive. As a progressive institution guided by national policies and global sustainability frameworks, the University actively measures, supports, and advances diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across all its functions.
SR University systematically measures and monitors applications and admissions of underrepresented groups, including students from low-income backgrounds, ethnic minorities, differently abled individuals, women, non-traditional learners, and other marginalized communities. Admission data is periodically reviewed by academic and administrative bodies to ensure transparency and fairness in the enrollment process. The University also carries out planned initiatives to recruit students, staff, and faculty from underrepresented groups, ensuring broader participation and representation in higher education. This includes targeted outreach, inclusive admission policies, equitable recruitment processes, and community engagement programmes aimed at bridging educational access gaps. Special attention is given to students from rural and socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds through scholarships, fee waivers, career guidance, and bridge programmes.
SR University has established dedicated diversity and equality mechanisms, committees, and officers that advise leadership on inclusive policies and implement programmes that strengthen diversity, equity, inclusion, and human rights on campus. These bodies facilitate training programmes, awareness sessions, gender-sensitization workshops, and anti-discrimination initiatives to promote a campus culture rooted in respect and equality. The University’s internal policies align with national regulations such as the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, UGC guidelines, and social justice mandates. Clear channels are available for reporting discrimination, seeking help, or accessing support, ensuring a safe and equitable environment for all.
SR University provides an extensive network of mentoring, counselling, and peer-support programmes designed to assist students, faculty, and staff from underrepresented or marginalized groups. Professional counsellors, faculty mentors, and peer networks collaboratively support personal, academic, and career progression through structured mentoring frameworks. A strong commitment to accessibility is ensured through inclusive built environments, including ramps, elevators, tactile pathways, accessible washrooms, priority seating, and barrier-free movement across campus infrastructure. The University also extends specialized support services such as access to scribes, personal assistance, interpreters, learning aids, and technology-enabled resources for persons with disabilities.
SR University implements robust access schemes and reasonable accommodation policies that guarantee equal access to academic and administrative processes. These include extended time for examinations, adaptive classroom arrangements, customized teaching-learning support, and financial assistance schemes for learners requiring additional support. The University ensures that these initiatives are adequately funded and continuously improved based on stakeholder feedback, best practices, and regulatory guidelines.
