One of the important functions of the Centre since its inception was to engage itself in continuous dialogue with academicians, policy makers, activists and others through the forum of Seminars/ Conferences/ Workshops etc.  The role of the Centre was either to organize such Seminars etc. itself or in collaboration with others, or encourage Faculty participation in seminars/workshops/conferences organised by others. 


Despite its financial constraints, the Centre has played the former role very effectively and as can be seen from the list of Centre’s publications, several documents are based on these Workshops, Seminars and Conferences.  In memory of Prof. J.P. Naik under whose leadership the foundation of the Centre was laid, the Centre holds an annual lecture. The Centre has designed and held Refresher Course in Women’s Studies for college and university teachers with the approval of UGC Standing Committee on Women’s Studies and this contributed towards greater collaboration between the Centre and the University system.
