WOMEN DEVELOPMENT CELL (WDC)Women Development Cell, under the convenorship of Ms. Garima Yadav, has been active throughout the year in its efforts to raise gender sensitivity in the college campus through sustained activities.

As usual, the proposal was met with great enthusiasm and willingness and in a few weeks' time, Ms Saniya Bedi was appointed as the student counsellor. It was a small but sure step required for ensuring the psychological well-being of our students.

With constant film screenings, discussions, talks, and workshops, Women Development Cell ensured that the college remained a gender neutral space where cisgender and transgender students alike felt completely at ease. In September, a workshop on 'Women and Law' was conducted where Gauri Viswanathan (lawyer, Supreme Court and alumna of Cornell Law School) trained the students in laws concerning women. Subsequently, WDC held another

workshop on 'Gender Sensitization and Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace' by Titas Ghosh.

Ketan Mehta's acclaimed film, 'Mirch Masala' (1987) and Deniz Gamze Erguven's tour de force, 'Mustang' (2015) were amongst the films that were screened to facilitate a dialogue about historical as well as contemporary cinematic portrayal of gender dynamics.
