University Electoral Literacy Club

According to the revised manual of NAAC dated 01.02.2023, Somaiya Vidyavihar University has established an Electoral Literacy Club (ELC) to engage students through interesting activities and hands-on experiences to sensitize them on their electoral rights and familiarize them with the electoral process of registration and voting. Through ELC, the Election Commission of India aims at strengthening the culture of electoral participation among young and future voters.
