The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties and Directive Principles. We can promote this by adopting various ways like motivating girl students for leadership , technical knowledge, sports , participation in social reforms and cultural activities of the college.
Equal Opportunity, Inclusion and Nondiscriminiation -
We aim to ensure with the help of management , that work policies and practices are free from gender based discrimination. Girls have equal rights in decision making of any kind in college, may be in the form of class coordinator or on the issue of fests and activities at college level.
Health, Safety and Freedom from Sexual harassment-
We want to establish a zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of violence at work, including verbal/physical abuse and prevent sexual harassment. Strict policy has been formed against sexual harassment cases. We aim to provide basic health related support system in college and wish to conduct workshop to make women aware of safety at work place and outside. Self-defense workshop will be conducted and will be very beneficial for all women folk. • Education and Training- Various workshops and training sessions will be kept to educate females about their legal rights, knowledge of banking and retail sector, traffic rules and regulations for road safety, information of various helpline numbers provided by government, operation of fire equipments in case of emergency, development of soft skills, workshop on self-defense, informative session by gynecologist etc.
