The Institute has collaborated with Olawa Mahila Bahuuudeshiy Seva Santha, a registered NGO working in Vidarbha with focus on women, education and health. Together their objectives are:

i) To enhance the self-esteem and self-confidence of girl students.

ii) To make them aware of the guidelines of Supreme court and to ensure that sexual harassment is treated as an unacceptable social behavior within the institution and the society.

iii) To develop leadership and professional qualities.

iv) To promote intellectual and cultural activities for overall personality development of female students.

Under this mutual understanding expert seminars and workshops are conducted to mentor students on topics of gender equality, women’s rights and empowerment.
