About the Electoral Literacy Club at Raja Peary Mohan College
The Electoral Literacy Club is a platform to engage college students through interesting activities and hands-on experience to sensitise them on their electoral rights and familiarise them with the electoral process of registration and voting but in an apolitical, neutral and non-partisan manner
