Most students pursuing Undergraduate and Postgraduate education hail from socially and economically constrained background.  Many are first-generation learners.  Some among them may not muster the courage to approach elders around and confide in them.

Instances of students divulging their problems to concerned authorities only to have the issue ignored subsequently is not an infrequent occurring. Also, Diffident, depressed, and mired in helplessness, students become incapable of performing to their optimum. As a meaningful intervention,  the  Department has set up a  Helpline called ‘Maithri’ for the students of Government First Grade Colleges.
