Women Development Cell

“There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.”

Women Development Cell @ BCAS is a vibrant and incessantly active collaboration of students, faculty, and staff; endeavouring to create a more inclusive, tolerant and gender sensitized community within campus as well as in society. It believes in strengthening students by creating awareness about socio-political, cultural, and legal perspectives through talks, workshops and symposia.
