To create awareness among the students, staff and community about the need to women empowerment.
The State of Gujarat has been lagging behind in the matter of development of women because it has more or less remained a backward state up till the advent of 21st century. Moreover, the Northern part of Gujarat is covered either by desert or hilly areas of the Aravallis. The poverty is so dominating a force that education, development and empowerment of women have been a far off thought. Therefore it is imperative to take initiatives to guide such deprived half of the society to path of progress. The students are the best representatives to inculcate this change into the society. Condition of women in certain pockets of North Gujarat is pitiable. Women are seen as objects of man's subjectivity.
Several steps have been taken to meet the above mentioned goals: Students are taught different skills by different expert free-of-charge Lectures are organized of beauty parlour, mehndi, and best out of waste by the institution. In order to make the girl students economically independent, the college has been training the students in preparation of Rakhi bands. In order to make the girl students self dependent institute organizes co operation training. A lecture was organized on safety measures to be taken. Self defense training is given to girl students by experts.
Many girl students have started making their livelihood on the bases of the skills developed in this programme. Through this training and motivation many girls have joined police department and home guard security. After self defense training girls have became fearless.
The response from the students for such training is not encouraging It is difficult to bring the students to such training classes after their regular class because of low frequency of transportation. The students from our town turn up in big number but the strength of girl students from remote villages still need to be guided positively. No financial problems were encountered in carrying out all the activities mentioned above. The major problem that the institute encounters is the availability of students for this type of activities. As the students are coming from rural area it is difficult to convince them for such training. Moreover, the students of the college are more interested in grafting their careers instead of mastering these additional arts. It is equally difficult to arrange for the expert trainers every time.
The institute is always eager to promote more creativity and imagination in students. In the present scenario it is very important to infuse and instill within the youth the spirit of global competition and to encourage them to display and express their talents to meet challenges of the newer changing order of the world. So college has implemented Sapt Dhara Initiative activities in different spheres so that the student can explore their hidden capabilities and potentialities. Sapt-Dhara initiative is a broad concept launched by Knowledge Consortium of Gujarat, Government of Gujarat. Sapt-Dhara is a concept which includes seven broad initiatives.
In the initial stage, students hesitate to participate in some of the competitions but after proper guidance and counseling by the faculty members they participated in large number.
The principal nominated one faculty member of the college as the coordinator of each band (Dhara) of the Sapt-Dhara initiative. So, seven faculty members were appointed as Dhara In charge and he was assigned the responsibility of organizing and promoting specific activities. Programmes like job fair, Career guidance seminar, elocution competition, quiz, Salad Decoration, Bridal Make-up competition, Clay Modeling, Rangoli Making, essay-writing competition, etc. organized throughput the year. Large number of students participated in it and won prizes at different levels.
Students will bring with them necessary raw-materials and utensils to make artistic models, Audio-video CDs to practice and performance of drama dance and mime.
