RUTS initiative to support female students who are mothers is a commendable effort to create a more inclusive and accommodating environment for students.
The university has set up dedicated areas where female students who are mothers can comfortably breastfeed their babies or use breast pumps. These spaces are designed to provide privacy and comfort, making it easier for mothers to continue their academic pursuits while still caring for their infants. The availability of breast pumps ensures that students can express breast milk conveniently, even if they need to be away from their babies for extended periods. To ensure that expressed breast milk remains fresh and safe, the university provides refrigeration facilities for storing breast milk. These refrigerators are located in or near the breastfeeding areas, making it easy for mothers to store their expressed milk until they can collect it and take it home.The university also offers accommodations for pregnant students to rest.
Overall, these facilities and accommodations aim to create a supportive and inclusive academic environment that recognizes and values the needs of female students who are mothers, making it easier for them to excel in their studies while balancing the demands of motherhood.
