International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year. It is an important occasion for all to take a moment to introspect and appreciate how much has been done and what additional needs to be done in the field of gender equality. Moreover, it is a day to acknowledge all the men and women in the world for making this world a better place for everyone to live in.
The Student Association of MCA (SAM) and Department of MCA organized Photo Competition on Women’s Day on 8th March, 2019 to celebrate women’s achievements and raise awareness against the gender bias. The theme for the competition was the International Women’s Day 2019 Campaign theme #BalanceforBetter.
The competition received a huge response from the students of MCA. The students grouped together putting their hand out on each side, palms up (i.e. indicating balance) to show their commitment for “balancing for better”, to challenge the status quo and to help build equality for women. One member of the group held the Selfie Card and the pictures were taken.
The competition was coordinated by Prof. Harshada U. Salvi.
