Inauguration of Counselling Desk for Women

NSS unit of Mahatma Night Degree College of Arts and Commerce, Chembur in association with Stree Mukti Sanghatana decided to start counselling desk for students, so they can come with their problems and get proper counselling about it.

As we have students coming from very poor social and financial background and they are carrying responsibilities of their house from the school age. Their parents can’t afford their education hence students are earning from very small age and taking their own education. Parents are illiterate they are working as labors. Even girls’ students also taking their own education and spending their earnings on education and looking after their houses. Some widows and divorcee girls are also taking education in our institute with their stressful mind. In order to take out from such stress NSS unit of our college and Stree Mukti Sanghatana decided to set up help desk in the college and try to counsel them and make them free from stress. Stree Mukti Sanghatana decided that they will appoint their official counsellor and that counsellor will counsel them in right direction. In this process of counselling the discussion between students and counsellor will be kept confidential. College will be given report of students with their name but no information about their problems.

On the occasion of international women day ‘Counselling Desk’ set up in the college by NSS unit and SMS was inaugurated by Senior Police officer Mr. Jagtap sir and President of SMS Mrs. Jyoti Mhapsekar Madam.

After the inauguration ceremony Senior Police Officer Mr. Jagatap sir addressed gathering and congratulate organization for set up of Counselling Desk in the college to resolve the problems of students. PSI Mrs. Manisha Shirke madam and Nirbhaya officer Kadam Madam also enlighted their thoughts about importance of counselling desk in the college.
