Women Development Cell(WDC)
Women empowerment and gender equality are the most important requirements for the enlistment and progress of our nation. In an effort to make SLRTDC a strong kernel of gender sensitization, the Women Development Cell (WDC) was constituted in November 2018 and is operating under the able convenorship of Dr. Sanjay G. Mishra. The Cell has both the faculty and students of the College as its members and works with an aim to create a gender-sensitized community within the campus as well as in the society. It has been organising varied academic, technical, medical, cultural and social events for the upliftment of women and spread the real importance of gender equality in the society through the College students.
