Pune: In the wake of a tragic incident involving one of its alumnae, Indira University has launched 'Indira Stree', a dedicated women's support and well-being initiative for all women associated with the institution. The initiative was established on Tuesday following the death of a former student in Bhopal, which is alleged to have been caused by dowry-related harassment.
Comprehensive Support Platform
Tarita Shankar, President of Indira University, Pune, and Chairperson and Chief Mentor of the Indira Group of Institutes, announced that the platform will offer a wide range of services. These include emotional support, mental health counselling, career guidance, mentorship, legal referral assistance, and emergency help. The initiative is open to current women students as well as alumnae of the university.
Prayer Meeting Held
A prayer meeting was organized at the university to honor the memory of the deceased alumna. The event was attended by current and former students, as well as the victim's classmates. Her parents also participated virtually, joining the mourners from Bhopal.
The establishment of Indira Stree underscores the university's commitment to the safety and well-being of its women students and alumnae, ensuring they have access to necessary support systems in times of need.
