University Grants Commission of India has issued a circular to Higher Educational Institutions by asking them to take the actions like the installment of complaint boxes and the development of committees by the faculty and students to prevent caste-based discrimination. The current paper discusses the concepts, principles, barriers, and practices that help in overcoming discrimination practices on campus. The author concludes the paper by quoting the evidence of a discrimination-free campus in nursing colleges in India.Keywords
