Objectives

Women Empowerment and Gender Equality are the most important requirements for the upliftment and progress of our nation. The Shahu Women Forum (SWF) was established in 2018–19 in an effort to make RSML a powerful kernel of gender sensitization. The forum seeks to promote a gender-sensitive community on campus and in society. Its members are both College staff and students. Through college students, it has been organizing a variety of academic, technological, medical, cultural, and social events for the advancement of women.

Objectives:
• To contribute to the creation of an egalitarian society in a patriarchal society where the socio-cultural value of male dominance is deeply ingrained.
• To assist female students to lead a balanced life free from aggressiveness or depression.
• To emphasize the advancement of women in every field.
• To plan events and activities to promote women's empowerment.
• To foster an atmosphere that will enable women to reach their full potential and provide their best.
• To encourage female students to be self-reliant and economically independent.
• To instill positive self-esteem and confidence in the female students so that they can take the right decision in and for-their lives.
