The Research & Development Cell of NG College launched a seven-day national workshop on 'Capacity Building of Women Managers in Higher Education' at the auditorium of the College on Friday.
The inaugural function was attended Social Welfare director Ng Uttam Singh as chief guest, NG College principal Ashok Roy Choudhury as president and Department of Zoology, Oriental College, Takyel professor Rk Rajeshwari Devi as guest of honour.
In his speech, Ng Uttam said that while the number of female students at higher education or education level may be low, it does not mean that the status of women is low.
There are many factors at play on why women are not able to hold key post at higher education level, the main reason being biological, society, cultural and institutional reservation factors.
Women have a difficult time during their own capacity building due to family and societal perceptions, he remarked.
