state participated in the workshops 

The coordinator workshops held in the state, I had the privilege of carrying forward the movement in Upper Assam. Participants from far flung corners of the state participated in the workshops. I have since witnessed the growth of a community of women who are committed to the agenda of making Higher Education in Assam gender friendly and equitable. At least 60% of participants in each workshop have been motivated to take up research and further studies — to equip themselves with the eligibility criteria required for promotion to higher positions. The emerging paradigm is that in each successive workshop, the number of academically accomplished women have increased, making the task of the motivators easier as already a potential resource group of eligible women were ready to be sensitized and step into roles of decision making and policy implementation.
