Promoting communication in respect of human dignity and social responsibility is what the institution continues to strive for in future. The plan of action towards Gender Sensitization on Campus in the upcoming years is summarized below.

• Various campaigns, training sessions, webinars, workshops, etc. will be conducted to promote diversity and gender-inclusive communication, involving all the stakeholders on campus.
