9th Annual Santulan Awards commemorating International Women’s Day 2018, conducted at Meerut City, UP

Meerut: It is rightly believed that when there are no ceilings, sky is the limit. Women who dare to encounter these ceilings, break them and emerge as empowerment icons deserve to be recognized at least, if not rewarded. Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, under the banner of its Gender Equality Program 'Santulan', takes the onus to recognize and accredit such she-roes and conducts Annual Santulan Awards every year in the month of International Women’s Day for the remarkable contributions they make to the society. This year too, the organization is carrying through 9th Annual Santulan Awards in various regions of India acknowledging the apparent success and leadership belonging to women, following UN’s theme of ‘Press for Progress’ proactively.

"Women are leaders everywhere you look—from the CEO who runs a Fortune 500 company to the housewife who raises her children and heads her household. Our country was built by strong women, and we will continue to break down walls and defy stereotypes" quotes Nancy Pelosi, Minority Leader-United States House of Representatives. The same is being highlighted in every workshop with the objective to instil a sense of motivation inside every woman who aspires to make an impact and lead a life of her choice.
