Online workshop by K’shetra varsity

Kurukshetra: The Women’s Studies Research Centre in collaboration with the Faculty Development Centre, Kurukshetra University, here organised a one-day online workshop on effective functioning of women’s cell and internal complaints committees. The workshop was attended by more than 100 faculty members associated with the women’s cells and ICCs in the colleges affiliated to KU. Chief guest of the inaugural session KU Academic Affairs Dean Manjula Chaudhary said although women prove to be good workers at the workplace but when it comes to take any kind of responsibility, they do not take a lead. “We have to replace the “Can I” approach to “I can” and bring more women into the leadership positions at their work place. The reason for this kind of attitude of women is their upbringing and socialisation,” she said. Keynote speaker of the inaugural session was Prof Ranjana Aggarwal, Director, CSIR-National Institute of Science, Technology and Development studies, New Delhi.
