Addressing the gathering, he said that women are the real architects of society. They have to identify their talents, skills, abilities, interests and inclinations.
We have to enhance the qualities that God has blessed us with. Instead of doing work mechanically work has to be done to keep you happy. If one man is educated then only one man is educated, but when one woman is educated then an entire generation is educated. The aim of our program is to educate mothers and sisters with the knowledge of this art, culture and literature.
So that they introduce their coming generations to the knowledge of this art, culture and literature, and this art journey continues continuously. The program was conducted by Museum Assistant Keeper Garima Anand.
