Women's Day celebrated


Correspondent


KORAPUT: The woman first needs to know herself, her purpose in life, the role she aspires to play. She must seek and become aware of the inner truth of her being. If she is not prepared as a conscious being, no amount of external aids or privileges can help her, according to Pritidhara Samal, an award winning young poet from Koraput.
Speaking to The Hindu, she further said that it was more important to bring up a child as a human being, a soul growing with its own individual needs and aspiration.
While the International Women's Day was observed at different places in the district, the meeting held at the Central University of Orissa deserved special mention for some important observations being made by the speakers.
Participating as the chief guest, Rupa Roshan Sahoo, the project director of DRDA, analysed the situation of women in different sections of society with special reference to the tribal women of Koraput region.
It was a shame that such a day had to be observed by the society even after the completion of 100 years of the first revolution by women in the world to remember the importance of women as an equal to the opposite gender.
The society should rather make it a point to realise the responsibility in providing the legitimate rights of women during the other 364 days in a year, she said.
She said that it was the women who add the most to the family income through her relentless effort.
