Bihar has done remarkable work in the field of women’s empowerment: Ratna Amrit

We must teach our sons to respect women. Police must be vigilant and sensitive to prevent atrocities against women.
These remarks were made by Professor Ratna Amrit, Principal of B.D. College, Patna, at the program “Jagriti,” organized at Chandragupta Management Institute, Patna, on the occasion of International Women’s Day on Sunday. The program was organized under the joint auspices of Chandragupta Management Institute and Advantage Support. It was part of “Main Hoon Bihar” Episode 10, a series of dialogue-based programs organized by Advantage Support.      At the event, Prof. Ratna Amrit said that women are advancing in every field. Bihar has done remarkable work in women’s empowerment, which has become an example. Today, Bihar has the highest number of female police officers compared to male police officers in the country. Women are being given reservations in government jobs and local bodies, which has brought about significant change.
Earlier, in the inaugural session of the event, special guest and CIMP Director Prof. Dr. Rana Singh said that women in our country have been given the status of goddesses. Worshiping women is part of our culture. International Women’s Day sends us the message to give women equal status.      Further, Khurshid Ahmed, Founder and Secretary of Advantage Support, said that the world is incomplete without women. As mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives, women are the support of our lives. A home is made up of women. Today, women have proven through their abilities that they can run the state and even the country. He said that many good programs have been organized in Patna under the “Main Hoon Bihar” series. Programs focusing on sports and industry will also be organized in the coming days.      Increasing education and employment are raising awareness
In a panel discussion at the event, senior Patna High Court advocate Nivedita Nirvikar said that many laws have been enacted to prevent atrocities against women, but there is a need to properly implement them. Today, with increased education and employment opportunities, women in Bihar have become more aware.
Dr. Meena Samant, HOD of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Jayprabha Medanta Hospital, Patna, said that when we discuss the health sector, we must specifically address issues related to women’s health. Women’s nutrition and mental health also need to be addressed.
At the event, former District Governor of the Lions Club, Namrata Singh, said that education is essential for the empowerment of any individual. Women must fight for their identity. Economic strength is essential for empowerment.
