Hyderabad 
: Union Cabinet Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi interacted with FLO members here in Taj Krishna in the city on Friday.
She lighted the lamp and addressed the gathering. The theme for her interaction was “A Paradigm Shift—Super Woman to Super Power”. Over 300 FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) enthusiastically participated in the program.
In her address lasted over 45 minutes, Maneka Gandhi said women empowerment is like building a wall, it has to be built brick by brick. Maneka also said, women and child development ministry was not a gender organized ministry, we have got a MoS and Secretary who is a man. When men died, wives were not given a succession certificate. We made sure they are inclusive in it so that they can easily claim pensions, informed Manika Gandhi
“I am a women, I am Maneka Gandhi . I myself is scared to go to police station my heart beats so fast, being scared of the very thought. Then came a thought of why not pushing more women police into the society. It is encouraging. More and more women are getting into police force, she said. Idea, Maneka Gandhi said is to sensitize men police by placing women police along with them. Prime Minister of India has entrusted me to get ahead with Beti Bachao Beti padavo to get the sex ratio adjusted. ‘Chances of women being Born is greater than a man according to genetics, she said. With this Beti Bachao Beti Padavo program we have set up a new trend by asking people to rename their business/shops for example from ‘Gupta and sons to Gupta and daughters’. Hyderabad has registered a staggering improvement in sex ratio from 916 to 946 girl sex ratio, Maneka Gandhi informed.
Earlier, welcoming the gathering, Kamini Saraf, Chairperson of FLO Hyderabad said, this was the most awaited program which had to be rescheduled, nevertheless, today we have the much awaited opportunity to interact with Maneka Gandhi, an animal rights activist, environmentalist and an author.
There is immense learning from women who propel India’s growth and bring a change in the society with their dynamism, Manekaji is one such role model said Kamini.
Paradigm shift can Literally shake the society. People to people transactions are becoming more day by day. According to a research survey, it has come to light that INDIA’s GDP can be increased by 27% if women actively participate in business activities, Kamini said.A paradigm shift is a revolutionary process which changes and impacts society in a very visible way. Manekaji’s contributions with the WCD Ministry is commendable and visible.
Kamini also presented a proposal with the requests they had put forward to the WCD Ministry focused on Women Empowerment and urged Manekaji to please review and help implement the change a progressive and safe India would welcome.
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” this is why this talk Kamini added
