International Womens Day is many things a cause for celebration, a reason to

pause and re-evaluate, a remembrance, an inspiration, a time to honour loved

and admired ones and in several countries .
Id like to extend, first of all, a note of thanks to all of you for taking time out of
your work schedules to come here.

I would like to end this talk with a quote from an anonymous source that I came across on the
internet. I find it comforting and I hope that you too will be inspired by it. Blessed are the
women, who have grown beyond their greed, and put an end to their hatred. They delight in
the beauty of the way things are, and keep their hearts open, day and night. They are like
beautiful trees planted on the banks of flowing rivers, which bear fruit when they are ready.
Their leaves will not fall or wither, and everything they do will succeed.3
Thank you.
I extend my best wishes to you all for a happy Womens Day,

I extend my warm greetings to all of you on Women's Day

A woman's role extends from being an important member of the family daughter, sister, wife, and mother - to being a determinant of social
development, as well as an architect of and contributor to building the
nation. As love and kindness are the essential qualities of motherhood,
women contribute to the development of a good family, a compassionate
society, a progressive nation and a more tolerant world.
With these words, I extend my best wishes to each and everyone here

This is a day to celebrate and cherish womens

contribution to the society and their struggle for
equality, justice, peace and development the everyday
woman who strives hard at home or work place, in the
farms or construction sites ,in factories or mills ,women
who have crossed the borders and scaled new heights

Gandhiji said, Intellectually, mentally, and spiritually, woman is equivalent to a male and she
can participate in every activity."
