Droupadi Murmu, in her message on the eve of International Women’s Day, which is observed every year on March 8, has said:-
“On the occasion of International Women’s Day, I extend my heartiest greetings to all sisters and daughters.
International Women’s Day is an occasion to honour the achievements of women power and their unique contribution to the country and society. Women are the foundation of our family, society and the nation. Women have successfully carved out their identities in diverse fields, despite facing adversities and challenges.
However, a lot needs to be done to improve the socio-economic conditions of women. Let us all pledge to create a society where every woman feels safe and gets equal opportunities to move ahead.
I congratulate all women achievers and wish them a bright future”.
