Women's Day celebrations on campus

Women's Day is one such event where students of the Women's Studies program along with the students of Women Centered Social Work have contributed to campus sensitivity on gender issues. Students have organized several programs like exhibition of posters and charts on the issues of gender, sex and sexuality, reading and sharing of the literary works of women writers or work written by students themselves, organizing silent protests and candle light marches to draw attention to the issue of violence against women. This was followed by the screening of documentaries which attracted a large audience and was widely appreciated.
