Sharing her views on women empowerment, Ms. Laxmi Singh, IPS Officer and Police Commissioner of Gautam Buddha Nagar, stated, “Women are paving the way for Viksit Bharat and in the last decade, women have made their mark in every field due to the remarkable changes in the governance of India. Women participation has increased in every field and today, women are at important leadership positions in various sectors. Their financial condition has improved immensely and from “Lakhpati Didis”, they have become “Crorepati Didis”. The background of a person does not determine success, but it is strong will power which leads one to success. Women should not compare themselves to men since both have equal roles to play in society. They should be focussed on their own work and always keep improving themselves in order to achieve success” , advised the Commissioner.
Dr. Pooja Chauhan, Chairperson Amity Humanity Foundation & Amity School of Film and Drama, said, “Today, our country is moving forward rapidly towards the mission of Viksit Bharat and this can be achieved by hard work, right attitude and ambition. Today, there are more women in the private banking sector and women hold more bank accounts than men in India. Also, more girls are enrolled in the primary, middle and senior secondary schools, showing that girl education is being given more importance. We need to focus on how women can sharpen their skills and enhance their intellectual capital, which will contribute o the development of our country. Also, students need to come forward, script the story of Viksit Bharat and make this dream come true.”
Addressing the students, Ms. Shubhrastha – Author and Public Intellectual; Founder, The Arthashastra Group, averred, “The future is full of uncertainties, and we never know what is going to happen the next moment. In the era of AI, bringing new ideas to the table is extremely crucial along with new ways of leadership, development of path-breaking innovations and out-of-the-box thinking is required. The need of the hour is to identify the challenges, your strengths and ask the right questions.”
Prof. (Dr.) Pinky Anand, Sr. Advocate, Supreme Court of India, opined, “Women must be provided access to everything which they want to achieve, which includes access to health, security and education. It is not important how women can outperform men rather how much contribution they can make through their own efforts is what matters.”
On this occasion Amity Excellence Awards were conferred upon various women leaders in their respective fields.
