Support Centre for Persons with Disabilities

About the Centre

The Support Centre for Persons with Disabilities was established to provide various services such as human helpers, access to physical resources, etc., to carry out smooth academic activities by the staff and undergraduates with disability. Hence, it hoped to protect and promote the rights of education of undergraduates with disability through the established centre.

It established a special service centre in the name of ‘Support Centre for Persons with Disabilities’ (SCPD) in March 2022.

This will benefit not only the staff and the students of the university but also the community in the region. Now the established centre has been providing its special services to staff and students with disability and would like to expand its services towards other community members with disability in the region.

Please visit our geographical map on this website to find the location of the centre.
