The Women's Association (WA) of IIT Kanpur is an informal organisation representing all women of IIT Kanpur campus. Started as a social club when the IITK was set up in the sixties, it has evolved into a platform for interactions and discussions with other residents, a place to nurture talent and enterprise, and a forum to discuss issues that concerns the community. WA has played a pivotal role in building the social fabric of the campus, celebrating Diwali, Holi and other festivals together, organising fetes and picnics, networking women and spending time together in fun activities. The association operates from House No 605, popularly known as the Faculty Club.
