The Women's Cell in the MIEEE organized a program on International Women's Day with the theme "Modern Women in Traditional World and Women in Technology." During this event, Surbhi Agrawal from IBM and Nidhi Bhakuni from the Pinkish Foundation inspired students and teachers on the subject of women's empowerment and the role of women in technology. Surbhi Agrawal from IBM stated that many positive steps have been taken in the Indian Constitution, and numerous constitutional measures have been made for women's safety to eliminate gender inequality in India. However, alongside the constitutional provisions, all forms of discrimination or inequalities will persist. But, in reality, change is only possible when men's mindset is changed. It will require the cooperation of parents and schools to initiate this change. Both family and schools play a crucial role in a child's development, so it's necessary for them to come together and discuss matters properly so that gender equality can be practiced in both home and school environments. Schools and parents should impart knowledge to children about various aspects of upbringing and practices along with gender sensitization, especially about gender equality.
