Experts dwell upon empowering women

Chandigarh, April 20

Dr Ambedkar Centre, Panjab University, Chandigarh, organised a seminar on the theme of ‘Women Empowerment in Bharat through Ages’ here today.

Anarben Patel, Director, Gramshree Women Empowerment, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, provided inputs from her own life and shared her experience of how she moved into the downtrodden section and addressed to their needs and grievances. 

She beseeched men to work in the ground and not act as hindrance to women empowerment. She concluded with a message that women should work hard to achieve their potential without getting entangled in social barriers. 

PU Vice-Chancellor Prof Raj Kumar welcomed the dignitaries and said women empowerment could be achieved only through deeply ingraining the idea of equality in mind. The same could be done by bringing up daughters with all intellectual and physical capabilities ranging from education to equality at home. 

Heena Kumari, IRS, delivered a talk on defining the meaning of women empowerment highlighting some features of matriarchal society. — TNS
