Initiatives
The D. G. Ruparel College has been known for pioneering several initiatives over the years. The college was one of the first in India to provide a Women’s Development Cell to focus on providing support specifically for female students and faculty. In January 2011, it initiated the ‘Chai and Why’ sessions in association with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Mumbai on the lines of Café Scientifique in order to make science interesting and accessible to the general public. Later that year, the college became the first one in Mumbai to introduce ICT (information and communication technology) in daily learning and teaching by allowing its students to take online topic-wise tests and using online software to show different experiments in science courses.

Famous quotes containing the word initiatives:
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
