The renaming underscores the cell’s commitment to becoming a trusted space for women within the college, empowering them not just academically but also socially. Through its programs, AASTHA aims to build awareness, offer support and counseling, and organize workshops and seminars on gender equality, women’s rights, social justice and so on. The cell’s activities are crucial for promoting a well-rounded educational experience that considers the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women in society.
