Mysuru:
According to IMF Chief, Christine Lagarde, Indian GDP could increase by 27 percent if only more women get into workforce including in top position said Dr Shalini Urs, Founder Chairperson of MYRA School of Business.
Speaking on topic ‘Womenomics: It is not only Empathy and Equity but about Economics’ during conference on ‘Empowering the Indian Women: A vision to fly higher’ organised by Confederation of Indian Industry, Mysuru at a private hotel here, said “Though women enrolment and passing percentage in schools and colleges including higher education is more than that of men, the worrying factor is that, they are not getting converted into the work force. Even in medical, engineering and management, women are doing well than that of men. To make india progress further, more effort should be made to get the women into workforce”.
Dr B R Pai, Past Chairman, CII Mysuru and CMD, VWF Industries said “There is multi-task inbuilt in women. When comes to work they are more superior than that of men. They have all capabilities including much needed patience to take up whatever responsibilities given to them. Because of these inbuilt qualities women by design are entrepreneurs. Apart from all this they can also manage finance much better than the men folks.
Mr Kamal Bali, Immediate Past Chairman, CII Karnataka and Managing Director, Volvo India Pvt Ltd who also spoke on the occasion said “If India want to be super power country, women’s participation is very much need of the hour. We are working on one leg by not making maximum use of women talent. Women are much superior than men because they are more serious, sincere and apathetic. Rising women work forces should be the important agenda for the country. The conference like this should focus on how we can make best use of women talent and how to empower them”. He also spoke on topic ‘Breaking free.. off the boundaries’.. such as conventional barriers which are mostly created by myth and fear of failure.
Her Excellency Dr. Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, Maharani of Mysuru who was the chief guest said that to be successful in life including in work or entrepreneur, one must have belief, self confidence and should know rights and responsibility. She said, all women should be given an opportunity to achieve what they deserve and desire. Quoting Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr. Pramoda Devi said, ‘When Women moves forward the family moves and when the family moves the village moves and the Nation moves towards prosperity’.
Bhaskar Kalale, Vice Chairman, CII Mysuru and President and General Manager Theorem Indian Private Limited who welcomed the guests briefed about the achievements of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar including contribution towards women including providing right to vote in 1907, establishment of Maharanis College both at Mysuru and Bengaluru.
