Why GIP?

Gender equality has been a great voice for the discrimination and inequality which women and girls are experiencing in today’s world. The higher educational institutions play a pivotal role in bridging the gaps in gender inequality.

The UGC strongly feels the necessity of the educational institutions to push towards promoting gender equality. In its task force report, it has suggested several measures to tackle the issues. One such measure is establishing gender sensitization cells.
