Institutional efforts/initiatives in providing an inclusive environment i.e., tolerance and harmony towards cultural, regional, linguistic, communal socioeconomic and other diversities:
DIATM prioritizes inclusivity and diversity through various administrative and academic activities. The following initiatives are the reflections of the contribution to fostering a welcoming environment:
Swami Vivekananda Birth Anniversary: Swami Vivekananda was a prominent figure in Indian philosophy and spirituality, known for his teachings on tolerance, acceptance, and unity. Celebrating his birth anniversary can serve as a reminder of these values, promoting a culture of inclusivity.
Rabindranath Tagore Birth Anniversary: Rabindranath Tagore was a Nobel laureate poet, playwright, and philosopher whose works emphasize the beauty of diversity and cultural exchange. Observing his birth anniversary can inspire appreciation for different cultures and languages.
Special Privileges during Ramadan Month: Offering special privileges during Ramadan shows respect and accommodation for the religious practices of Muslim students and faculty. It ensures that they can fully participate in college activities while observing their religious obligations.
Celebration of Bhasha Divas: Bhasha Divas, or Language Day, celebrates linguistic diversity and promotes the preservation of various regional languages. By acknowledging and celebrating different languages, DIATM encourages inclusivity and respect for all linguistic backgrounds.
Holiday on Guru Nanak Birth Day, Eid al-Fitr, Durga Puja, Good Friday: Providing holidays on these religious occasions allows students and staff to observe their religious practices without any hindrance. It acknowledges and respects the religious diversity within the college community.
Celebration of Christmas: Christmas is widely celebrated around the world and holds cultural significance beyond its religious roots. By celebrating Christmas, DIATM embraces cultural diversity and provides an opportunity for all students and staff to join in festivities irrespective of their religious beliefs.
Overall, these initiatives demonstrate DIATM’s commitment to creating an inclusive environment where individuals from diverse cultural, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds feel valued and respected. By recognizing and celebrating various cultural events and religious holidays, the college fosters a sense of belonging and harmony among its community members.
