Governor Ms. Uike said that Sakhi Foundation is working towards health education and women empowerment, which is commendable. The Governor said that in our history there have been many women whom we call as Veerangana because they stood up against the oppressive power and fought against them at the time. There were many heroines like Rani Laxmibai, Avantibai, which we remember and salute.
The Governor said that the people whom we are honoring today, in fact, are also enthusiasts, because they have shown a tax which ordinary people cannot do. The achievements made by these women in their respective fields today and the stage reached, the path was not easy. They have faced a long struggle and many challenges, whether it is at home or outside. She said that in the past few times, women have shown their self-confidence and will to do what was not really possible. Whether it was women mountaineer Arunima Sinha or Mithali Raj, she rose to prominence in the field of sports, while women like Sunita Reddy, Mallika Srinivasan, Jia Modi, Kiran Mazumdar, Kali Puri in other fields such as business and corporate have topped the list of Fortune India met. These women have broken the general perception and have shown their proficiency in the work considered to be the field of men.
The Governor said that in Chhattisgarh also women are achieving achievements in every field. If we talk about the Corona period, women worked shoulder to shoulder with men in all areas of health, safety. Some districts are playing their roles as collectors or as police officers. We will find that in the Corona era, a woman had the responsibility of the Health Department and she performed her role well. At present, the command of major universities is on the shoulders of the female Vice Chancellor. All these women inspire our daughters to keep moving forward and never lose courage.
The governor said that women and men are two wheels of a chariot. A woman’s hand is behind the success of a man, whether in the form of mother, wife and sister. In the same way, a man’s hand is behind the success of a woman. They can be a father, brother, husband or a guide. I got guidance and protection from my teachers, they inspired me to move forward. Along with this, guidance was also given to men with positive attitude. They helped me to reach here in addition to various responsibilities.
