She is equal to a man in pursuit of education and knowledge.
Dr. S. D. Ahangar HOD Education while speaking on the Occasion remarked that women have always done wonderful jobs in all fields of life. From Sanghamitra to Noor Jehan and from Kalpana Chawla to Madam Drupati Murmu we have thousands of examples with us to say that women have done their contribution in the fields of Education, Economy, Politics, Culture, Art, and Science.
The Chief Guest on the occasion Justice Fouzia Paul said that International Women’s Day (IWD), celebrated annually on March 8, is a global day acknowledging the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Not only does it celebrate the achievements and progress women have made, but it also highlights the ongoing struggles for equality and the need for continued advocacy and action worldwide. On this day, several events take place globally to highlight the collective efforts of everyone who cares about human rights in the ongoing struggle for gender parity. As Gloria Steinem aptly stated, “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to neither a single feminist nor any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.” The Programme was attended by 200 participants.
