Complaints Related to Caste-Based Discrimination
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is committed to maintaining an environment based on equality, dignity, respect and non-discrimination for all members of the Institute community.
IISc has established an online Caste Based Discrimination Complaints (CBDC) system through which students, faculty and non-teaching staff can register grievances and concerns relating to SC/ST/OBC discrimination, caste-based discrimination and other forms of caste-related injustice.
