Women have achieved remarkable success in every field including sports, politics, science, medical, technology, defence and all other sectors. Every day should be celebrated as Women’s Day since we can see their contribution in our day to day lives and it is our collective responsibility to ensure women’s safety and security so that they can live their lives with respect and dignity.”
Smt. Locket Chatterjee, Former MP Lok Sabha, averred, “Women’s Day a movement toward recognizing, celebrating, and empowering women and girls to break barriers and achieve their fullest potential. Women have been the architects of change in the society. Even during the Chandrayaan mission, we have seen the Space Scientists team comprising of highly accomplished women scientists. We are seeing more women participation in leadership roles as CEOs, heads and chiefs in various fields including politics. The need of the hour is to provide equal opportunities to women in every field by creating unlimited opportunities for them and providing them a safe and secure environment.”
Ms. Pria Warrick, Chairperson & Executive Director, Pria Warrick Finishing Academy, said, “Although the society has changed its mindset towards women, still there is need to treat them well and acknowledge their efforts in every field.
