Empowerment of Women: Shaping future of India
mpowerment of
Women stands for
making women strong
enough to face any
kind of challenges. This brought
a breath of fresh air for the women
granting them equal rights and an
understanding that they too can
make decisions.
On this issue, Dr. A.P.J Abdul
Kalam once said, “Empowerment
of women leads to development of
a good family, good society and,
ultimately, a good nation. When
the woman is happy, the home is
happy. When the home is happy,
the society is happy and when the
society is happy the state is happy
and when the state is happy there
will be peace in the country and
it will develop at greater pace”.
Every year on the 8th day of
March, the world celebrates
International Women’s Day (IWD),
a day dedicated to recognize the
social, economic, cultural, and
political achievements of women.
“Inspire Inclusion” carries a
powerful message that extends far
beyond a single day of celebration.
It is a call to action, urging us to
create a world where all women,
regardless of their background,
identity, or circumstance, feel
valued, empowered, and actively
included in every aspect of
society. By actively fostering
inclusivity, we can empower
women, unlock their potential,
and build a brighter future for
everyone.
