Purpose
Every citizen of India, male and female, has the right to education and employment in a safe and secure environment, as provided by Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Constitution of India, which ensure 'Gender Equality' and the 'Right to Life and Liberty.' It is the duty of every organization to uphold these fundamental rights, ensuring dignity for all employees. However, violations of these rights sometimes occur, necessitating safeguards to promote gender equality. Due to historical challenges, working women often face difficulties at the workplace, highlighting the need for protective measures. The Women's Cell at Nirmala College of Pharmacy has been established to address these concerns.
