When we empower our women ,fifty percent of the population is empowered !!

In India,we call it the Adhi-Abadi ! One such motivational and inspirational workshop was conducted at Pullman hotel .The workshop,conducted by Social worker ,Environmentalist and President NGO Tree For Life -Kavita Ashok brought a positive note to the value system and thought process to the women present !

How women create a work life balance ,what are their challenges at workplace and how can one bring about harmony in career ,mind ,body and soul was the crux of the event .The Corporate sector women have their own challenges an hurdles ,a lot was shared heart to heart with the mentor by the lady staff members of the corporate world .

Women empowerment is not merely a term ,its a thought process which is seeing the light of the day by our joint efforts ! India marches  to  a bright future when women move hand in hand with men .

 

A book on women from all walks of life – excelling ,struggling to make their mark ,entrepreneurs ,pioneers in their fields !! Such a wonderful compilation of these successful women was brought together by Shalini Kochar in her coffee table book ,launched in Delhi .

I am humbled to  be featured in the book  along with Princess Diya Kumari ,Shehnaz Hussain ,Janis Darbari ,Raveena Tandon ,Sonali Bendre ,Shilpa Shetty ,Sonal  Mansinghji ,maestros from music,sports ,social work ,education and corporate world .

My gratitude to all, whose wishes are bringing laurels to my commitment to the environment and health sector .I wish to serve the nation even more diligently and with greater passion !!

A beautiful expression of love for humanity and nature rolled together for a few hours at a school for Special children where Tree For Life organised World Environment Day .Potting of plants ,creating beautiful glass bottles filled with colourful pebbles ,messing their hand sin mud and water the children were joyous .The poster making activity focusing on Loving Nature and Saving the Environment was a pleasurable on too .This was followed by group pictures and a tea party for participants .
Of all the Plantation activities and movements I have organised ,this one with special children turned out be most meaningful .

Much has been said about conserving forests,rivers,mountains ,air -on the whole loving nature and keeping its sanctity .In today’s

article I plead each one to do a small activity in anyway you feel comfortable for Mother Earth .Keeping your surrounding clean will be a major step too as once it becomes a force,the transformation of the earth’s face will show .Saving the planet sounds like someone else’s job -its not mine or yours-its OURS !!

Fulfilling his pledge in his presidential campaign ,Donald Trump has pulled out of the Paris resolve .He stated that the Paris accord is a financial and economic burden on US businesses,workers ,people and taxpayers.
Barack Obama has said that the current administration rejects the future in pulling out of the pact.World over environmentalists and leaders are criticising this unethical move.
So what if Mr Trump does not care -196 countries pact remains .Climate change is real and human activity contributes to it .We all over the world are working to save the only planet we have !
