Women Empowerment Cell

"When development is not en-gendered, it is endangered"

Objectives

Women are often treated as receiving ends in society, denied their social, cultural, economic, legal, political, and religious rights. Haryana, especially Mahendergarh, having the second-worst sex ratio after Jhajjar, needs an urgent sensitive approach from a knowledge society. The University, being a knowledge hub, has the responsibility of social sensitivity and awareness. Keeping in view this vision and mission, the Central University of Haryana established the Women Empowerment Cell in 2012.

  • To provide an empathetic counseling environment for psychological empowerment to students and local women about problems they cannot share easily.
  • To analyze underlying causes through research on women discrimination and to generate awareness.
  • To develop a gender-sensitive curriculum according to regional and national demands.
  • To make forms of various government schemes for the welfare of women and girl child available free of cost and help fill those forms.
  • To combine knowledge and practice by facilitating discussions on women's equality from academic and community perspectives.
  • To sensitize women students about individual growth like nutrition, health, hygiene, and sanitation.
  • To facilitate economic empowerment by meeting with various self-help groups, NGOs, and government organizations.

Note: The Women Empowerment Cell was inaugurated on 18 February 2012 by Mr. Justice S. K. Mittal, Executive Chairperson, HALSA, accompanied by Mr. Justice N.K. Sanghi, Judge Punjab & Haryana High Court, and Prof. Mool Chand Sharma, Founder Vice-Chancellor.
