SDG - 5
10%+ Female Students’ Participation in Mentoring and Counseling Sessions
The Psychological Service Unit at DIU organizes a series of Mentoring and Counseling sessions for Female Students around the year. The female students of DIU including the female hostel students take part in the sessions. A total of 600+ female students (10%+ of female students) actively participated in these mentoring sessions in 2023. These sessions are held on issues like exam stress, self-confidence, career development, balancing academic and personal life, mental health & wellbeing, Gender-based Violence, Harassment, and Safety, etc. By addressing these crucial issues among female students during critical academic periods, DIU ensures that underrepresented groups, particularly female students who may face additional societal stressors, receive the support they need to excel academically.
