The Women Cell of PTM Government College, Perinthalmanna was set up in the college to create a platform for empowerment of young minds to help them grow into a balanced and better human being. Most of the students in this college are girls and we see a trend of girl students dropping out of college or ceasing to pursue higher education due to socio-economic issues. This cell has been working to empower them to face these hurdles with dignity and enhance their ability to make independent decisions.
Vision
• To mould and enlighten the young minds and pave the way for them to grow into balanced and better human beings.
Mission:
• To help make female students and staff aware about their self-worth and for them to understand that they have a right to make their own choices in life.
• To encourage female students to be self-reliant and economically independent.
• Increasing gender awareness among the students and eliminating deep rooted beliefs of gender bias and discrimination by increasing gender sensitivity.
• To equip students, by building up their self-confidence and enhance their ability to influence the direction of social change.
