During the Vedic periods (approximately 4000-1000 BC), women in India held equal status with that of men as they had equal responsibilities in the society. Women were treated with great respect. The patriarchal joint-family system, structure of property ownership, early marriage, self-immolation of widows (sati) or state of permanent widowhood, all became obstacles to the development of women and the degradation of women started only since 300 BC. Since the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several reformers fought against those aspects of the system that have resulted in the oppression of females and as a result of their efforts, independent India has adopted several rules and regulations to protect the rights of women and establish equality of status.

Status can be perceived in different ways: the extent of a woman's access to social and material resources within the family, community and society, or her authority or power within the family/community and the prestige commanded from those other members, or her position in the social system distinguishable from, yet related to, other positions, or the extent to which women have access to knowledge, economic resources and political power as well as the degree of autonomy they have in decision-making and making personal choices at crucial points in their life-cycle.

In this pretext, the basic challenge before the modern India is stated to be the issue of “ Women Empowerment”. UNO at the global level and National governments at the level of Individual Nations have been showing a serious interest in the attainment of women’s empowerment, which incorporates all the above-mentioned dimensions.

Therefore, we being a part of a professional institution feel that it is relevant to establish an active women development cell, which would organise various programmes related to Women empowerment. In this academic year, the college is gearing up to empower the girl students in the campus through this novel idea.

-:Mission:-
“ Realisation of the potential of the girl students and development of the sense of self-respect, dignity and self confidence.”
