About the Cell
A Women and Gender Sensitization Cell is a dedicated entity focused on promoting the welfare and well-being of female students and staff. It serves as a platform for addressing gender-related concerns, fostering awareness, and creating a supportive environment.The objective of the cell is to integrate women’s experiences, issues, problems and perspectives into other branches of knowledge. The attempt was not only to add a women’s perspective but to transform traditional disciplines through considerations irrespective of gender. The development of a feminist perspective goes hand in hand with attempts to empower and educate women. This cell also aims at dispelling contrived barriers raised by traditional academic disciplines experimenting with modern forms of interdisciplinary. A major objective of the cell has been to promote a dialogue between academics and activists, social workers and policy makers. The cell plays an important role to conduct gender sensitization programmes and raises interest within students of Higher Education of various institutions like Galsi Mahavidyalaya.
