Tirupati, Oct 18 (UNI) Sri Padmavathi Women's University (SPWU) Vice-Chancellor Acharya V. Uma on Friday called upon women to be at the forefront of all matters to achieve sustainable development, inclusive governance and to prepare themselves to achieve women's empowerment.
If women's empowerment from Panchayat to Parliament is to be fully successful, women's leadership qualities and initiative in governance decision-making should be acknowledged in all matters, Prof Uma said while delivering the valedictory address on the second day of the national seminar on 'Women's Empowerment from Panchayat to Parliament in India: Achievements, Challenges and Participation in Decision-making Process', organized by the Academy of Grassroots Studies and Research of India (AGRASRI) in collaboration with the indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi, held here.
