PRESENT
A WEBINAR
8th March 2022 at 2.00pm CET / 6.30pm IST,
on the occasion of International Women’s Day
The webinar aims to highlight women in power and their fundamental importance in the creation and growth of modern India. We aim to specially focus on women in the public sphere who have led by example. The focus of this webinar is to project the progress made by Indian women in public aspects of society and governance by repeatedly breaking the glass ceiling. While challenges abound, the webinar aims to learn from the experience of the participants. We hope to be able to celebrate these achievements while discussing how to mitigate challenges for the future generations.
