The CDC serves as a unifying force within the University, bringing all affiliated colleges together to address their needs in a structured and transparent manner.
By ensuring that colleges adhere to the norms and regulations set forth by the UGC and other governing educational bodies at the national and state levels, the CDC strengthens colleges in all areas.
