A colloquium on women's and girls' safety and well-being on West Bengali campuses was arranged by Ebong Alap in May 2013. Participants included women's studies centre directors and college instructors from throughout the state. This was carried out in cooperation with the Women's Studies Research Centre at Calcutta University and the Eastern Regional Office of UGC. The UGC report "SAKSHAM: Measures for Ensuring Safety of Women and Programmes for Gender Sensitization on Campuses," which was released in December 2013, later incorporated the recommendations made during this consultation.

Critical Citizenship workshops
State States
West Bengal
Since 2005, we have been focusing on teachers and students in educational settings other than universities and schools that are sharing knowledge in English through our "Critical Citizen" workshop series. The majority of information is still only available in small areas and among English-speaking people, which is one of the paradoxes of our age of information explosion. The vast majority of individuals who reside in urban, semi-urban, and rural locations cannot access it. We have been disrupting two hierarchies of knowledge distribution through this initiative: the urban-rural divide by venturing outside of Kolkata, and the language barrier by selecting educational institutions where students had difficulty understanding a knowledge system that was dominated by English.
The Critical Citizen views knowledge as a process of conversation and exchange that benefits both parties. It makes an effort to start meaningful conversations, especially with youth.
