The Department of Political Science, Patna Women’s College, organised a Human Chain on the occasion of Human Rights Day from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM to spread awareness on the importance of dignity, equality, and fundamental rights for all individuals irrespective of any differences. Faculty members and students from department of political science and sociology participated actively, holding posters and placards highlighting themes of justice, liberty, equality, and human dignity.
