Aparjita – “Saluting Womanhood”
A few days ago, I attended the Aparjita awards ceremony, in Kolkata.
13 years ago Ruchika Gupta wanted to honour the remarkable work of women and created Aparajita. They have supported women in fields from culture, sport, education and so much more.
I was surrounded by people phenomenal women. What an honour to share a stage with them.
I was seated at a table with some amazing women.
Prof Somdatta Sinha who was awarded the lifetime achievement award from her redefining work in theoretical biology. Dr Tawheedi Makhdoomi (child rights activist) who was awarded the protector of child rights award.
What an incredible community to be part of.
Thank you @sanmarg.aparajita
You were in good company there, and very fitting you were the first international addition.
