The programme was graced by the Chief Guest Parinita Fukey, Ex-Corporator, Social Worker and Entrepreneur. She was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Neelam Bowade, Founder of Manaswini Foundation.
On the occasion, Neelam Bowade shared the inspiration and vision behind the establishment of Manaswini Foundation. She said that every woman possesses unique qualities, but due to lack of opportunities and proper platforms, many women are unable to express their talents. With this thought, Manaswini Foundation was formed to bring together like-minded women who can share knowledge, skills and experiences and contribute positively to society.
