I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at JAMMU: The Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE), University of Jammu, in collaboration with the Centre for Women’s Studies, University of Jammu, organised a workshop on “Gender Sensitization” on October 12, 2026, under the guidance of Prof. Pankaj Kumar Srivastava, Director, CDOE.
The workshop commenced with a formal welcome address by Prof. Pankaj K. Srivastava, who welcomed the resource person, Prof. Savita Nayyar, Director, Centre for Women’s Studies, University of Jammu.
Speaking on various aspects of gender sensitization, Prof. Savita Nayyar emphasised that gender sensitization is a crucial step towards building an equitable society. She observed that true progress requires more than the enactment of laws and calls for a fundamental shift in the perception of gender roles from an early age. She highlighted the need to dismantle deep-rooted stereotypes in schools, workplaces and homes to foster mutual respect and empathy across genders.
Prof. Nayyar further stressed the importance of educating individuals to recognise and challenge systemic biases to create safer and more inclusive environments, where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can thrive without fear of discrimination or judgment.
The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. Sandeep Kour Tandon, Director, CIQA and Coordinator of the workshop. Dr. Neha Vij served as the Deputy Coordinator. The workshop witnessed active participation from students and staff of CDOE.
