New Delhi, March 9: The national convention, ‘Bharati – Nari Se Narayani,’ emphasized the necessity of women-led development rooted in Indian values. Speakers called for actionable plans to empower women across the country.
Dr. Leena Rahane, a professor at an engineering college, highlighted that the concept of ‘Nari Se Narayani’ aims to awaken respect and pride for women in India. She stated, “This idea ignites respect and pride for women in our country. It reflects the ancient prayer—’Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya, Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya’—guiding us from darkness to light and from death to immortality. It is crucial to focus on how India’s development can be driven by women-led initiatives.”
Surkha Dangwal, Vice Chancellor of Doon University, described the convention as a meaningful platform for discussing women’s empowerment rooted in Indian values. She remarked, “This was a very enriching experience. A significant discussion took place on how access to opportunities for Indian women cannot solely rely on Western frameworks or feminism. Many shared their thoughts on our Indian values and identity.”
Dr. Tripta Thakur, Vice Chancellor of Uttarakhand Technical University, emphasized the traditional Indian perspective on gender equality. She noted, “In our Indian culture, women have never been considered inferior to men, as we come from a tradition that recognizes the concept of Ardhanarishvara.”
Vanita Sahai, Director of IIM Bodhgaya, stressed the importance of focusing on opportunities and outcomes. She said, “My perspective is slightly different because I believe that whatever we focus on grows. Therefore, we should discuss opportunities more. We need to engage in conversations about creativity, output, and results.”
Neeta Chaturvedi, Executive Group Director of Ashcom Media Pvt. Ltd., highlighted the need to move beyond discussions to implementation. She stated, “We must develop an actionable plan on paper and then implement it.” Rewa Sood, an agribusiness entrepreneur working with women farmers in Himachal Pradesh, expressed pride in being part of the program and emphasized the need for more efforts in rural areas. She said, “I am very proud to be part of this program. Our blueprints are excellent, but we need to work harder to uplift our sisters in rural areas.”
The convention brought together women leaders, academics, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to discuss the role of women in nation-building and the vision of transforming women into Narayani through empowerment and leadership.
