The Women’s Cell is established in the college in 2007 in accordance with the directions issued by UGC, MHRD and Supreme Court ruling of 1997 on the issue of sexual harassment in the work place to enhance understanding of issues related to women and to make the college campus a safe place for them. With an aim of creating awareness of their rights and duties the cell organizes and participates in seminars, talks, awareness programmes , entrepreneurial training and so on.
