To mark the International Women’s Day, a special programme was organised on Sunday where hundreds gathered across the district.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Naba Kishore Das joined as chief guest and addressed the gathering.
Das said the State Government was working hard for women empowerment.
“For this, our Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had made arrangements for free treatment of women up to Rs 10 lakh in any part of the country. Likewise, the Government has been giving assistance to different Self Help Groups, promoting women education, employment to make them self dependent,” Das said.
Similarly, BJD Women’s wing leader Deepali Das said, “Every woman is special, whether she is working at home or at the office or doing both.” The women who have achieved success in different spheres were felicitated on the occasion.
