CII Indian Women Network Madhya Pradesh organised a wonderful session titled 'A motivational dialogue with CII- IWN' at lNCT on Saturday. There were more than 600 students during the session.
Special guest for the session was Poonam Shroti, founder secretary, Uddip Welfare Society, Bhopal. She is suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfect-A by birth. It is a disease in which you suffer from multiple fractures. It is a very rare disease. In India hardly 3 per cent people suffer from this disease.
This disease hampers your growth and makes you so weak that when you start walking, you fall and break a bone. For the past 30 years she has suffered countless fractures.
Despite this rare disease, her studies were not affected. She has done MBA (Finance). She dreamt for a job like finance manager, but her dreams were shattered when she was rejected on the grounds of her disability. Getting rejected due to her disability inspired her to create jobs for people like her. And consequently, she started her NGO with a recruiting firm. Her NGO works for mental, physical and every disability that comes under the definition of handicap.
Second Speaker for the session was Dipa Prakash, Chairperson of Indian Women Network, Madhya Pradesh and Director, Operations - Omega Renk Bearings Pvt ltd. She spoke on 'How to be a winner'. Inspiring the students she said, "It is very important to make realistic goals. They should not be extraordinary and unreachable.
Firstly, discover your strengths, your fortes and also your limits; only then, set your goals. You should also have a blueprint of your plan. Your action plan must be flexible, so that it lasts long."
Third speaker for session was Kanchan Yadav, Co-chair, IWN MP and Managing Director of Genpro Technologies Pvt ltd. She has introduced IWN to and students.
