The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has made a ‘Gender Awareness Course’ a must for all students. The objective of the course is to make the institute more gender-aware and a comfortable place for all. While the course will be rolled out only for students initially, it will subsequently be extended to faculty and staff as well.

“The Gender Cell at IIT Bombay has come out with a beautifully crafted MOOCs course on gender awareness. The academic Senate of the Institute has now made it a zero credit, pass/no-pass compulsory self-study course for all students,” read the post by Director Prof Subhasis Chaudhuri.
