Speaking on the occasion immediately after presenting Stri Ratna awards, the Home Minister said Stri symbolises Shakthi. Seventy per cent of teachers are women. 55 percent of our population is women. Women should be encouraged. Awards are rewards for excellence. From power shortage, water problems and many other problems Telangana today has had all-round development in the last 8 years, he said.
The many women from different fields have proven their mettle and scaled newer heights and achieved a lot of success. But the government can’t recognize all of them. What TCEI is doing is a great job, said Ganesh Bigala, MLA.
The awards function was earlier inaugurated by Sandeep Suntania. Addressing the gathering he said women are powerhouses. They have abundant talent. 25 years ago, especially the rural women were just confined to their household chores. Today we have 45 lakh self-help groups. Banks who never trusted any are lending Rs 15000 crore loans per annum to these women without any collateral. In the last two years alone two lakh rural women got into self-help groups and ventured into business.
