In response to the Vishaka Judgment passed by the Supreme Court in 1997, the University of Mumbai has directed the ‘University Women Development Cell (UWDC)’ in 2001 with the key purpose of making the University a gender-sensitive space. The University also directed all its affiliated colleges to set up a ‘Women Development Cell’ at college level.
In compliance of this directive of the University, the Women Development Cell Terna Engineering college was set up under the chairmanship of Dr. Vaishali Khairnar. It is an active committee comprising of staff members and students of our College, and functions with an aim to prevent sexual harassment, promote well being of all the female students and staff members and create a gender sensitized community within campus as well as in the society.
