The role of women is continuously expanding in every field. Today the country is working on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas’. To move the country’s economy forward, it is necessary to change the old mindset towards women. Today there is no such field where women have not shown their skills. The role of the Women’s Commission is also important in this.
Ruchi Ghosh, Head of the Department of Sociology, Barkatullah University expressed the above views in a programme organized in the auditorium of the Commission on the 24th Foundation Day of Madhya Pradesh State Women’s Commission.
Additional Director Women-Child Development Smt. Rajpal Kaur said that women are no longer the delicate one. They are not weak but are tolerant. There is no dearth of intelligence, strength and valor in women. They just need to get a chance. Those who got the opportunity have made their mark in every field.
In the programme, Cyber Expert Akshay Vajpayee told that women are falling prey to most cyber crimes at present. The main reason for this is that these crimes are committed by mostly acquaintances. After downloading any application, we are not aware of its security features. He said that social engineering increases cyber crime. When we share our personal information with our acquaintances, friends, it is called social engineering. Personal ID of any person is cracked only by social engineering.
State Women’s Commission Secretary Shivkumar Shukla informed that the commission was constituted to empower women, protect and conserve their interests, provide equal opportunities for development and take prompt action against atrocities and crimes against women. On the foundation day of the Commission, mountaineer Megha Parmar, eminent Bharatnatyam dancer Lata Singh Munshi, para-cyclist Tanya Daga, painter Rekha Bhatnagar and many other women were honored for their outstanding work in various fields.
