STUDENT COUNCIL
A Student Council is a group of elected and volunteer students working together with an adult advisor within the framework of a constitution or bylaws to provide a means for student expression and assistance in school affairs and activities, give opportunities for student experience in leadership and encourage student / faculty / community relations. The purpose of the student council is to give students an opportunity to develop leadership by organizing and carrying out school activities and service projects.
Institution has an active student council with representation as per the directions of the MUHS and 4 additional members in the forum of 2 fresh undergraduate students & 2 post graduate students.
Students council’s main function is to represent student’s problem and suggestions to the institutional authorities in a structural way. It is formed every year in the month of august/sept with Principal as a chairperson & 3rd year student as a secretary. Student members are selected as per the directions given by the university. The teaching staff is appointed on a rotation basis.
The council meets every month preferably in first week. Agenda is prepared in advance depending on the complaints received from students and other standard items.
On the day of first meeting introduction of all members is done by principal and secretary reads agenda points one by one on which discussion takes place. Remedial measures and other discussion points are noted down by record keepers and minutes are prepared by secretary after confirmation of the same by principal. The task assignment with compliance report is prepared. Which are then circulated among the students and members respectively.
It is the duty of secretary to prepare requisite notices regarding matter discussed during council meeting for information to all students. One-month time period is given for the action to be taken on various issues related to students discussed during the meeting and action taken report is prepared.
This is discussed during the next meeting along with fresh agenda points. Any member who remains absent without prior permission for two consecutive meeting is removed from the council. After the period of 1-year committee members are changed and secretary hands over the work file to the next secretary & the cycle goes on.
This year 2nd yr students have been assigned the responsibility of jotting down the points discussed in the meetings as it was observed that it is difficult for secretary to display the minutes of previous meetings, compliance discussion and taking down the points of current meeting as well.
