The University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi approved the proposal no.F.40-13/ (2005) (GA-1) (Vol.II)/5069 dated 21.09.2009 for the es- tablishment of Women’s Studies Centre (WSC) in Tezpur University.
The centre tries to create a balance between the University Grants Commission’s mandate of teaching , research and extension on one hand and the distinctiveness of women studies as an area within the academy on the other. The ultimate task is to bring a change in prevailing social attitudes , enhance collaboration between disciplines , produce new knowledge, and contribute to the north-east Indian experience through activism and research.
Vision : The CSCWS will function as a centre to co- ordinate and promote studies on women be- longing to the diverse socio-cultural milieu of a multicultural North East India and the as- similation of women from marginalized tribal / non-tribal and ethnic groups through out- reach activities such as field study, advoca- cy, workshops to enhance awareness and to train manpower to conduct research in wom- en studies. The centre shall connect, coordi- nate and construct a community of women who would significantly contribute towards meeting objectives of gender sensitization and empowerment in this region.
