MIER College of Education, Jammu

ABOUT

Overview

The Centre for Women's Studies at the MIER College of Education represents a manifestation of the institute's long standing commitment to women issues and working towards their amelioration. This can be gauged by the vision of the founders of MIER, who, in 1936, started the first co-educational school in the State, placing girl students at par with their male counterparts. Therefore, the establishment of the CWS at MIER with the financial assistance of the University Grants Commission (UGC) provides a formal platform for the institute to study, understand and develop strategies to resolve the pandemic issues concerning women in our society. The institute envisions the establishment of a full-fledged School of Women Studies offering formal and non-formal programmes
