About SAKSHAM Cell

University Grants Commission (UGC) believes that a safe and healthy environment in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) for women students and employees is a necessary prerequisite to quality education and research. UGC, in its commitment towards this, has undertaken several initiatives through the provision of various fellowships, scholarships, support to institutions for capacity expansion and empowerment of women. As an extension of its existing initiatives, UGC has developed SAKSHAM which is a dynamic portal that aims towards empowerment of women in campuses through creating awareness on:

• Opportunities and initiatives in HEI for women
• Support and redressal mechanism for students and employees of HEIs
• Web resources in the form of Government and United Nations policy documents for women
