The Context

Women's empowerment entails liberating women from the vicious circle of social, political, economic, and gender-based discrimination. It is critical for them to be trained in order to serve their family at home and professional fronts. Women's economic betterment and empowerment are critical to strengthening women's rights and allowing them to have control over their life and health.

Such skill development activities are held for students on a regular basis in college to implant the necessary skills and abilities in order to shape their overall personality.

The women's development cell supervises this plan of action.
