Women Skill Park is an IQAC venture for employability enhancement. Being one among the key initiatives of IQAC, this is aimed at increasing women’s job potential and employability through linkages and collaboration apart from institutional initiatives by offering job-oriented certificate courses, skill training, skill empowerment sessions, leadership trainings, etc., to exclusively equip students, and women in the neighbourhood area. This is unique and distinctive practice of the institution rooted in the institutional vision and goal of women empowerment through 5 Es, such as education employment, empowerment, entrepreneurship and emancipation.
