Jaipur. The two-day Shakti Vandan Mahotsav, organised under the leadership of outgoing Mayor Dr. Soumya Gurjar, concluded with enthusiasm and energy. Thousands of women and girls participated in the festival and pledged their active contribution in building a developed India. This event emerged as a powerful platform for women empowerment, health, entrepreneurship and cultural awareness. In the special session of Shakti Vandan Bharat Ke Swa Abhinandan organised under the festival, the chief executive of Rashtriya Sevika Samiti, respected Sita Tai, said that in every era in the history of India, the women power has worked to change the direction of the society and the nation. She said that respect for women is not achieved by asking for it, but by one’s actions, self-confidence and determination.
*Women’s determination and self-confidence have given society a new direction in every era: Sita Tai*
Sita Tai said that such events are extremely important for promoting women’s self-reliance and self-confidence. When women become financially independent and stand firm in their decisions, society respects them.
Citing examples from Indian history, Sita Tai said that the determination and self-confidence of women like Mata Aditi, Mata Sita, and Draupadi have given society a new direction in every era. Referring to the brave land of Rajasthan, she described the sacrifice of Mata Panna Dhay as the supreme example of women’s power.
*This is the right time to empower women; women should take advantage of opportunities: Vijaya Rahatkar*
Addressing the session, National Commission for Women Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar said that respecting and empowering women requires working with equal passion and commitment throughout the year, not just on one day. International Women’s Day is merely a symbol, while the real goal should be to ensure women’s rights, respect, and opportunities 365 days a year. She said that today a conducive and positive environment is being created for women in the country. Continuous efforts are being made at both the government and societal levels to empower women in areas such as security, education, health, and employment. She said that strong laws have been enacted in the country for women’s safety, but due to lack of information, women are often unable to take full advantage of them. Therefore, it is important for women to become aware of their rights and laws.
*India has the highest number of women in technology and engineering in the world: Vijaya Rahatkar*
Vijaya Rahatkar said that special initiatives are being taken in the country regarding women’s health. Recently, a vaccine was made available to prevent cervical cancer. During the program, approximately 1,000 girls were also vaccinated, which is an example of the growing awareness and sensitivity towards women’s health. She said that today, women’s participation in the field of education is also increasing rapidly. India has the highest number of women studying in fields like science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the world. This is a testament to India’s changing social mindset and the growing potential of women. Rahatkar said that government schemes like the Mudra Yojana are proving to be extremely important in empowering women. Through these schemes, women can start or expand their businesses by taking loans at low interest rates without much guarantee. She also urged women to take advantage of various government schemes, including the e-Shram card. She said that women’s participation in the field of business and entrepreneurship is also continuously increasing. If a city has the strongest presence of women entrepreneurs, it is the city. Jaipur. Its daughters and women are setting an example of self-reliance and self-confidence by achieving outstanding work in various fields.
*National Commission for Women Chairperson Praises Soumya Gurjar*
Vijaya Rahatkar, while praising Dr. Soumya Gurjar, said that the Shakti Vandan Mahotsav, which she initiated two years ago, has now become an important event that empowers women and provides a platform for their talent. On this occasion, outgoing Mayor Dr. Soumya Gurjar welcomed and honored National Commission for Women Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar by presenting her with a turban and a memento.
*1000 girls vaccinated, hundreds learned sword fighting*
Keeping the health of women and girls in mind, a special cervical cancer vaccination campaign was also launched during the festival, under which approximately 1000 girls were vaccinated. Additionally, to promote women’s self-defense training, hundreds of women underwent sword fighting training and displayed bravery, which was a special highlight of the program.
*These sessions were also held*
Patrika Group Editor-in-Chief Gulab Kothari spoke on the topic “Beyond the Body,” highlighting the cultural, spiritual, and social role of women. Actress Isha Koppikar shared her thoughts on “Contribution of Women Entrepreneurs to a Developed India,” inspiring women to move forward towards self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
In a special session on “Healthy Women – Prosperous Society,” women scholars and physicians provided detailed information on cervical cancer awareness. The women present also openly asked questions and received guidance from experts.
*Gen-Z Youth Engaged in Bhajan Jamming*
Gen-Z youth created a spiritual and cultural atmosphere through bhajan jamming. Women enthusiastically played Holi with flowers, enjoying mutual harmony and celebration. At the closing ceremony, outgoing Mayor Dr. Soumya Gurjar expressed her gratitude to all the women and participants who attended the event and said that the purpose of the Shakti Vandan Mahotsav is to provide women with a platform where they can further strengthen their role in social and national development by recognizing their health, self-defense, entrepreneurship, and leadership abilities.
