7.1.4 Describe the Institutional efforts/initiatives in providing an inclusive environment i.e., tolerance and harmony towards cultural, regional, linguistic, communal socioeconomic and Sensitization of students and employees to the constitutional obligations: values, rights, duties and responsibilities of citizens (Within 500 words)
Response:
The institution has been following the national educational policies implemented by the state and the central government. Having the notion that more subject knowledge and a degree certificate will not make a student a holistic person and a law-abiding citizen of the country.
The institution has been taking various measures to instill core human values, morals, and ethics in the students, along with academic activities. The institution is situated in a rural locality, and most of the enrolled students originate from families below the poverty line. They need financial, psychological, and moral support from the institution.
The teachers in schools could guide them only towards their choice of higher education. However, they look to the faculty of the higher education institution for guidance in choosing their career avenue and, consequently, their own lifestyle. Hence, the institution takes on the moral responsibility of providing an inclusive environment for every single student with tolerance and harmony.
In addition, the faculty members assume the roles of matha (mother) and pitha (father), along with the already performing role of guru. The shaping of individual students towards cultural, regional, linguistic, communal, socioeconomic, and other diversities has been done through various awareness and student enrichment programmes. The celebration of national and state-level cultural festivals with equal spirit motivates the students to be tolerant of religion. Different sports and cultural activities, like the celebration of Vinayakachavithi, Christamas and Pongal organized in the institution, promote harmony and understanding for one another.
The commemorations of specific days develop basic knowledge about the significance of such days. These types of events instill mutual respect and compassion in the minds of people all over the country.
To respect the fellow women faculty and to treat them with dignity is implicitly introduced through days like “Women’s Day,” Girl Children’s Day, and awareness programs on gender sensitization that have been done.
The human rights awareness program, along with legal consultation by the advocates who focused more on cybercrime and cyberbullying issues, was conducted to discuss the preventive measures for not becoming victims of such evils. Any indiscipline matters are reported to the discipline committee of the institution, and the decision taken by them will be final regarding the matter.
A tobacco cessation cell has been established for the purpose of spreading awareness and providing necessary treatment and referrals wherever necessary to the needy.Moreover, our awareness sessions also focus on the importance of creating a supportive environment for those who want to quit tobacco. We provide resources and information on various cessation methods and support groups available to individuals who wish to quit smoking or chewing tobacco. By offering this support, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their health and make positive changes in their lives.In these ways, the institution takes different initiatives to provide a conducive environment for the young students.

Conclusion:-
Entrepreneurship education encourages students from all socioeconomic backgrounds to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills.Every successful entrepreneur that you encounter or read about likely started with an image or idea related to something he or she felt passionate about creating. This occurs even when the person has no idea how (or if) what they desire to accomplish or create will become a reality. An entrepreneur’s vision is the start of a roadmap that will determine where he or she wants to go with their entrepreneurial efforts. Vision speaks to what the entrepreneur wants the business to look like in the future—perhaps five or ten years out. Unfortunately, many potential entrepreneurs have dreams and ideas but never develop a concrete vision.
