New Delhi, March 8: The “Bharati: Nari Se Narayani” national conference, held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, focused on women’s issues and culture on the second day of International Women’s Day celebrations.
Following the event, prominent figures such as author Lakshmi Murdheshwar Puri, former Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha, and Dr. Sandhya Purecha, chairperson of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, shared their thoughts on women’s status and cultural significance in the country.
Author Lakshmi Murdheshwar Puri expressed her pride in participating in the event, stating, “I feel honored to be here and part of this program. This is the first event that has brought together women from every state, every generation, and every class. Discussions revolved around the status of women in India and their future.

Former Rajya Sabha MP Rakesh Sinha remarked on the event’s significance, saying, “Leftist women’s organizations have overlooked these issues, while nationalist women’s organizations have addressed them. The most significant achievement is that the women’s movement has become inclusive and is working for women from every corner of the country.”
Social activist Shashi Buwana, who also attended the event, highlighted her years of work for women’s development.

India has won the world not with weapons but with its knowledge and culture. Our Prime Minister has stressed the importance of women’s development, and it is believed that when women rise, civilization rises.”
