The object of the Student Welfare Fund (SWF) is to render financial assistance to students from financially underprivileged families to partially meet their academic expenditures such as, purchase of books, payment of tuition fees and examination fees, etc. in order that the students enrolled in the college are not dropped out of the college due to financial difficulties.
