decision making leadership positions and gender advocacy

decision making leadership positions and gender advocacy

A workshop was held at Delhi in 1997 with participants from the UGC Standing Committee for Women‟s Studies and some other women academicians including a few women Vice Chancellors. The programme focused on sensitizing women in higher education to the current situation, raising awareness, and motivating women managers to aspire for decision making leadership positions and gender advocacy. It was then decided that UGC would undertake a similar sensitizing activity for which manuals would have to be framed keeping in mind the Indian context. The manuals presented by CHESS were reworked by a group of authors appointed as a sub-committee to the Standing Committee.
