Collegiate Women’s Development Committee

The Collegiate Women’s Development Committee (CWDC) at L.D. Arts College is a dedicated platform for gender justice and empowerment. This committee was established in December 2005 and plays a pivotal role in endorsing the rights and aspirations of female students and employees within our college.

Our Mission:

Our CWDC committee, established in 2005, is dedicated to fostering a supportive environment for women where their voices, concerns, and needs are recognized and respected. We aim to create a welcoming and equitable campus culture where women have equal opportunities to reach their full potential and fulfil their aspirations without facing any hindrances.  

Key Initiatives:

• The CWDC frequently organizes programmes for students’ benefit. A workshop on ‘Emotional Well Being of Students’ was organized to understand the inner workings of the students’ psyche.
• CWDC and the Psychology Department, along with the Institute SAATH, conducted a programme on ‘Student’s Life – A Memorable Journey.’
• Awareness Programmes on Women’s Health and Nutrition are organized by inviting experts like gynecologists and nutritionists.

This cell serves as a platform for both female students and employees, promoting a range of academic and creative initiatives. The primary goal is to ensure a safe and nurturing campus atmosphere for all female stakeholders. The CWDC’s tireless efforts have not only motivated female students to engage actively in various activities but have also resulted in a remarkable absence of reported grievances related to harassment or ragging. This underscores the effectiveness of these proactive measures.

One of the cornerstones of our approach is the organization of workshops aimed at enhancing the emotional well-being of our female students. These workshops, attended enthusiastically by the majority, have a transformative impact on their personalities and attitudes. By equipping them with knowledge and coping strategies, we empower our female students to navigate the challenges they may face confidently.

Moreover, our commitment extends beyond emotional well-being to encompass physical health. We conduct awareness programs on women’s health and hygiene, featuring senior gynaecologists who address issues such as anaemia, HIV, and thalassemia. These sessions also offer personal counselling and guidance, ensuring that our female students have access to comprehensive healthcare support.
