The Cell has both the faculty and students of the College as its members and works with an aim to create a gender sensitized community within campus as well as in the society. It has been organizing varied academic, technical, medical, cultural, and social events for the upliftment of women and spread the real importance of gender equality in the society through college students.

Future Plan:
