Our Request to Director IITK to recognise women on campus dt 10 Feb 17

• I- Cards to spouses (similar to the Health Centre card). This will make us eligible to enter Antragini Gate without needing to take our spouses ID cards

• Limited permit to use the Central Library facility (time & days of the year could be restricted based on the academic calendar)

• Email Id’s with iitk alias so that all women on campus could be reached in one Go. There are several notices like power cut and/or cultural programme that should reach women residents directly.

• Representation of campus women in relevant user committees such as health centre, nursery, women cell, space committee, school management committees of Campus School, Opportunity School, Kislaya and Snehan etc. The WA Executive should be asked to nominate members to various committees.
