A club to train girl students in self-defence and counsel male students against eve-teasing would be set up on the campus.

Decisions on these proposed actions were taken by students of different batches and college management after a marathon meetings held by CGC chairman Satnam Singh Sandhu on Tuesday.
"I held a meeting with students and we decided to restrict the entry of outsiders on the campus. Each students would be checked and only those with valid identity cards allowed on the campus," said Sandhu.

The main aim of the emergency meeting was to restore peace on the college campus and ensure that outsiders were not allowed to take advantage of the issue and vitiate academic atmosphere of the college, he added.

Sandhu said that the proposed girls club would hold regular workshops and seminars on the campus on eve-teasing and educate students to refrain from crimes against women.
As per the proposal mooted by students, the club should hire a psychologist to counsel students.
"We proposed to set up a female club in the college, which will also have a psychologist to counsel students. We plan to set it up by next week," said Nandini, a first-year student of BTech.
