Gender Sensitization Action Plan

Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce aims to create a gender-sensitized and gender-just environment in the campus, bringing the change in mindsets and a shift in perspectives. We put an impetus on behavioural modification by raising awareness on gender equality concerns and providing a gender-inclusive environment for teaching- learning, technological creation, innovation, development, and research on campus.
