Centre of Excellence for Women Studies
VISION
Rohilkhand is one of the regions in which women are not at an advantageous position. The average female literacy rate in this region is much below than the average female literacy rate of India. It's imperative for the growth and advancement of a region that the women in the region be brought to the fore by tapping their hidden talent. However, it is again important to have women centric research and studies in order to strengthen and empower the women in the area. CoE for Women's Studies at MJP Rohilkhand University shall seek to fill the gender gap in the academia by introducing a new approach to discuss things through the perspective of women.
