Every Year Indira Mahavidyalaya, organizes Induction program for the newly admitted studnets. Purpose of Student Induction Programme is to help new students adjust and feel comfortable
in the new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution, help them
build bonds with other students and faculty members, and expose them to a sense of larger
purpose and self exploration.
The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the incumbents
adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment. In other words, it is a well
planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particular institution,
and connect them with the people in it.
Student Induction Programme engages with the new students as soon as they come into the
institution; before regular classes start. At the start of the induction, the incumbents learn
about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor
groups are formed.
