The Internal Complaints Committee of the college in collaboration with the Internal Quality Assurance Cell of the college organised a seminar on “Changing Face of Gender Equality in Indian Perspective ” on the 29th of April 2022 in the second-floor auditorium of the college. Ms. Salony Priya, the Founder Director of UMMEED Counseling and Consulting Services was the keynote speaker. There was overwhelming response from teachers, students, and staff of the college for participation in the programme. The programme started with a welcome address by Prof. Tathagata Sen, Coordinator IQAC. Thereafter, Dr. Joyeta Bhadury, Presiding Officer of the ICC set the ball rolling with the introductory speech and by introducing Ms. Salony Priya to the participants of the seminar. Ms Salony Priya enthralled the audience with a very informative and interesting session. Her deliberations centered around issues to ensure equitable distribution of power, influence, and opportunities among all in the society irrespective of their gender. In a very simple manner, she explained the key issues related to gender, like biological gender, gender roles, gender identity and stereotypes, to sensitise the audience about gender equality. Last but not the least, it was indeed very motivating to witness the wholehearted discussion and the observations of the participants in the interactive session. The programme ended with a vote of thanks which was offered by Prof. Atreyee Ganguly, a member of the ICC. Such an initiative of the Internal Complaints Committee of the college is in fact the need of the hour, as it will help faculties, students, and staff of the college to evolve as torchbearers for a better tomorrow.

The Event was attended by over 50 Students and 30 Faulty members.
