Electoral Literacy Club (ELC)

ELC stands for Electoral Literacy Club. The primary objective of the club is sensitizing the student community about democratic rights which includes casting votes in elections. We conduct mock polling activities to give the experience-based learning of the democratic setup. We also conduct cartoon drawing, debates, mock parliaments, elocution, essay writing and other programs which create awareness regarding electoral procedures
