UPES is one of the very few universities in India that runs a formal leadership training program called Shakti for its women faculty and staff members. Shakti is a module-based, year-long training program aimed at propelling women employees to leadership roles by combining their intrinsic qualities with the right skills and knowledge.
Besides this, UPES supports 49 under-privileged girls, lovingly called ‘Adopted Daughters of UPES’, from villages neighbouring its campus in Dehradun, in their education and holistic development through extra-curricular activities.
With the aim to encourage more female students to continue their higher education after class 12th, UPES has announced a 25% scholarship on complete program duration to all female students applying for under-graduate and post-graduate courses in the academic year 2020. UPES has also declared the year 2020 as the Year of Women Empowerment. As part of this, the organization is committed to implementing multiple initiatives in areas of training & development, financial aid through scholarships etc. that remove gender barriers and enable female students, employees to realize their dreams, commented Dr. Deependra Kumar Jha, Vice-Chancellor, UPES.
