Gender equity measures
The institution ensures gender equity in all its administrative and academic arenas including admission, appointment, nominations and elections to decision-making and advisory bodies. Right from its inception in 1965, the academic institution follows the policy of inclusion without marginalising anyone with respect to gender. Equal provisions and amenities are provided to the students within the campus and its premises. Gender sensitization of the entire students, teachers and staff is a prime concern of the institution. Gender-based discourses are widely promoted and addressed so as to eradicate the stereotypical notions regarding gender within the institutional framework. Numerous cells function in the college to address gender-related issues such as the Anti-Sexual Harassment Committee/Internal Complaints Committee, Daksha - Women’s Cell etc. and the activities organised by these cells aim to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment for all the genders proclaiming the values such as equality, inclusion, mutual respect, respect for human dignity, fairness and justice for all.
