The Department this year enrolled students under extension work project titled “Survey of Women’s Status”. The purpose of this project is to make the students sensitized about the problems faced by women & to generate a sense of realization among students to be a contributory factor towards their empowerment. Our students conducted a survey of women in the age group of 15 –35 years. They interviewed 25 to 50 women each in the areas chosen under the project.These projects thus provide a forum for exchange of ideas, innovations, amassing knowledge & provides a chance to increase the representative voice of those traditionally under served& ignored in society. The Extension work teachers attended the First Term Training Programme at Malini Kishore Sanghvi College, Vile-Parle on 20th August 2015 and the Second Term Training Programme at VidyarthiVidyapeethBhavan, Churchgate on 8th December, 2015. Our Field Coordinator Mr. ArvindLuhar addressed & guided our extension students in both the terms. His valuable guidance helped the students in completing their project work.
