Its main components include women's contribution to society and social processes and their perception of their own lives, the broader social reality and their struggles and aspirations," the legit said.

Every year, the head of the centre will present a report on the working of the centre to its advisory committee and then submit it to the UGC with minutes or comments of the members. The report will describe achievements and actions taken and will have both quantitative as well as qualitative information," the legit said.
Evaluation of the centres will probably be on teaching, research, extension actions, seminars, workshops, particular lectures, field action initiatives and action research, documentation and archive on women, partnership with other UGC centres and non-UGC centres, executive schemes and NGOs.
