The college adopts innovative practices that contribute to women empowerment, skill development, capacity building and employability. Presented below are the two major Best Practices implemented consistently.
‘Swayamsiddha – An Empowerment Programme for Girl Students’
Traditional degree programmes offer limited exposure to emerging career sectors. They may not fully inculcate employability skills, entrepreneurship, national values and ethics. ‘Swayamsiddha’ bridges this gap by offering motivational sessions from entrepreneurs, industrialists, social workers and educationists. Students engage in debates, presentations and dialogues on relevant social and academic issues.
Increasing unemployment among graduates in traditional streams is a major concern. The curriculum often does not match industrial needs, creating a gap between education and employability. ‘Swayamsiddha’ addresses this gap by providing confidence-building, exposure, skill development and awareness through expert guidance.
The programme is conducted every year in December. Key steps include:
The success is evident from the steady increase in participating students each year.
Pre-Recruitment Training of Women in Police
With 33% reservation for women in Government and semi-government services in Maharashtra, the institution identified a strong opportunity for women with higher secondary education. Many rural girls drop out due to economic constraints. To support them, the institution began a structured Pre-Police Training Cell (2006–07), offering physical, theoretical and psychological training for Police recruitment.
Women from rural backgrounds often lack access to structured training despite having strong willpower, physical fitness and dedication. Considering the aspirations of parents and students from lower economic backgrounds, the institution launched this programme to facilitate access to government employment.
