Women managers are heavily under-represented in the management cadres of the University system. The UGC ‘s initiative “Capacity Building of Women Managers in Higher Education” seeks to remedy the situation and bring about a more equitable representation of women in administrative positions in universities and colleges.

Beginning from 2004, workshops are being conducted in different parts of the country to sensitize institutions and motivate women academics. The programme which aims to bring change from within the system by developing sensitivity/ awareness/motivation as well as management skills among women academicians and administrators has become almost a movement.

The National Consultative Committee for Capacity Building of Women Managers in Higher Education, under the UGC, manages the activities of the project. Regional and Local coordinators are appointed to implement the programme to cover a wide area.This website aims to provide information about the Programme, its activities and the persons involved; and to help in accessing scholarly information. Members are invited to share information and to ask questions.
