“Campus Calling” will focus on promoting gender sensitivity, student safety, and awareness about legal protections such as the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2013.

As part of the program, each institution will nominate four Campus Ambassadors who will lead awareness campaigns and act as peer advocates for safety and empowerment.

The initiative is expected to strengthen the culture of respect and security within academic spaces.

This move aligns with the broader goals of women empowerment and creating fearless learning environments in India’s higher education system.
