RKMV's Core Council / Board of Studies periodically reviews examination patterns. The objective is to cultivate a broader sense of identity among students, emphasizing personality development, arts and physical education over rote memorization.
Strict regulation of access to rooftops, balconies and other high-elevation points is maintained through CCTV surveillance. The campus and hostels are kept free from harmful substances and drugs through regular inspections and awareness campaigns by the Anti-Drug Committee.
RKMV Shimla follows zero tolerance towards incidents involving sexual assault, harassment, ragging and bullying on the basis of caste, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion or ethnicity. By implementing these Supreme Court guidelines in letter and spirit, we ensure that the pursuit of education never comes at the cost of a student's life or mental well-being.
For support or to report a concern, students may reach out to the Convener or Members of the Internal Committee, Discipline Committee or the Dean Student Welfare Committee. All complaints are treated with strict confidentiality.
