WOMEN ARCHITECTS OF NEW INDIA, Inspire Inclusion let's forge a more inclusive world for Women

The global theme for International Women's Day 2024 is 'Invest in women: Accelerate progress. Investing in women emphasises on ensuring women's and girls' rights across all aspects of life to secure a healthy planet for future generations. International Women's Day takes on a global dimension, boosting the growing international women's movement, strengthened by four global United Nations women's conferences, a rallying point to build support for women's rights and participation in the social, political, and economic environment.

Women have set records in nearly every industry and area of life as they tread with efficiency and equity. Their journeys become motivational and universal, and they 'inspire inclusion' in its true sense.

Today, women are breaking down barriers and forging ahead with greater confidence. With contributions integral to the progress and development of our nation, Nirmala Sitharaman, whether in the arena of defense or being the custodian of the budget-the most difficult portfolios of the country has shown deftness in successful handling.

From Anshula Kant, MD and CFO of the World Bank, whose mission is to eradicate poverty at the grass-roots level, to Punya Nanjappa, who soars through the sky as a fighter pilot, to two-time Oscar winner Guneet Monga Kapoor, who wants to tell the world the wonderful stories of real people, these women have rewritten the narrative for the future.

In an AI-driven space, young technocrats like Roshni Nadar Malhotra are changing the trajectory of the tech world. Ravneet Kaur, Chairperson of the Competition Commission of India, is the second woman to serve the role of economic regulator, whereas Adyasha Satpathy, the daughter-in-law of the late Nandini Satpathy, first lady CM of Orissa, wears many hats, from being the CEO of Dharitri Oriya Daily and Orissa POST English Daily to a climate activist.
