Women Development Cell

Gender Discrimination is a systematic, unfavorable treatment of individuals based on their gender, which denies them rights, opportunities, or resources within any given society. The Women Development Cell is a mandated body as per Section 3.2 (15) of UGC Guidelines (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal of Sexual Harassment of women employees and Students in higher educational institutions) Regulations, 2015.

KMKCP believes gender justice in college is an exercise involving a perspectival shift that can set down norms of respect, non-discrimination, and the unacceptability of any abuse of power. This must be the purpose of a new pedagogy within which issues of gender justice are seen as an integral part and not as ‘women’s issues’ to be ghettoized or added on to academic agendas as a ‘requirement’ or afterthought.

WDC of KMKCP believes in implementing approaches that are iterative, continuous, and sustained focusing on empowering young people through educative, preventive, and correctional strategies. The Women Development Cell, therefore, is mandated to work towards such processes which impart the capability, to be empowered to exercise effectively. Hence all measures of WDC are directed at promoting such practices, fostering mechanisms that safeguard fundamental rights and increase participation and visibility for students in all realms of the academic world.
