IPS Tejaswi Satpute and Sangeeta Punekar, co-founder of the Advait Foundation and a social worker, were the guests for the event. Tejaswi madam put light on equality and the ability to perform duties with strength; self-assurance, decision-making skills, and knowledge were admirable. She put light on the Tri Sutri of willingness, efforts, and consistency and believes that “Don’t Keep Anything For Options…!” Her work in “Operation Parivartan” speaks a lot about the title conferred on her “Lady Singham of Solapur”.
Sangeeta Punekar madam enriched the gathering with her knowledge on laws and rights for women in India. She created awareness among the students regarding the same. Her enriching words made the audience reflect on their lives. It was indeed a noble event organized by the Institute, which served the aim of empowering women and making them feel appreciated and valued. SRBS Students entertained the gathering with their singing and dancing skills.
