Lucknow University begins three papers on gender violence, women leadership
The Lucknow University's Institute of Women's Studies has introduced three papers at the undergraduate level under the National Education Policy (NEP). The two new vocational courses are Women and Entrepreneurship Skill Development and Women, Leadership and Management and a co-curricular course Gender, Violence and Mental Health that have been started by Lucknow University’s Institute of Women’s Studies.
Lucknow University has introduced a co-curricular course in the third semester of the graduation and the vocational papers in the fourth semester of LU's UG courses. LU’s new vocational course aims at introducing the concept of women's entrepreneurship with an emphasis on developing leadership skills and management skills.
“This course provides a scope for students to seek job opportunities in NGOs and organisations that work for generating employment for women groups,” said Archana Shukla, the co-ordinator of the Institute of Women’s Studies.
Lucknow University had earlier directed the BCom Semester II students to choose one of the vocational courses and attend classes as per the timetable. The notice further said that it is compulsory for students to opt for at least one paper. The faculty of commerce started courses titled Introduction to Statistical Data Analysis, Financial Literacy and Banking, Computer Application and Data Management and Counselling and Guidance.
Meanwhile, LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava announced that a total 50 students have been selected for the student welfare scholarships at the varsity.
