Vision and Message of Centre Head

Dr. Aashita

Associate Professor

Welcome to the Centre for Women’s Studies!

Established in 1999, the Centre serves as a catalyst for gender equity and empowerment of women. It shares the vision of fostering a more equitable and inclusive society by promoting research and education on women’s issues.

Aligning with the University’s vision, the Centre offers a progressive full-fledged MA programme in Women’s Studies transcending disciplinary boundaries by drawing on various fields to address gender-related issues.

The Ph.D. programme in Women’s Studies emphasizes the role of research in understanding women’s/gender issues and the need to disseminate the findings to the community.

A dedicated team of faculty members not only provides guidance, academic support and mentorship to the students and scholars but also helps in their overall growth and development.
