Statutory & Institutional Committees
SVPP's governance is built on clearly constituted committees, each with a defined mandate, transparent membership and a track record of accountability.
Well-constituted, actively functioning committees are the backbone of institutional governance. At SVPP, every statutory committee is constituted per AICTE, UGC and university regulations, with minutes recorded, decisions communicated, and follow-up tracked. Committees meet at the frequencies mandated by their respective regulators and at additional sittings whenever circumstances require.
