Techno
India Dama Hospital, in
association with Woman Times, hosted “She Shines”, an
evening dedicated to honouring women whose perseverance, dignity and quiet
determination continue to shape society in profound ways.
The evening
was graced by distinguished personalities from the cultural and academic
spheres. Prof. Manoshi Roychowdhury, Co-Chairperson of Techno India
Group and Co-Chancellor of Techno India University, celebrated actresses Ms
Shakuntala Barua, Ms Chaiti Ghoshal and Ms
Debolina Dutta, Indian Classical Odissi Dancer, Ms Sanchita
Bhattachary attended as special guests while Dr Bratati
Bhattacharya, Academician – Director, Management Studies, JIS Group, Ms
Shamima Khatoon, Advocate, Ms Geeta Raghani, Financial Advisor
and Ms Dola Banerjee, Journalist, were present to encourage and
celebrate the spirit of empowered womanhood.
The evening
brought together women from diverse walks of life, including achievers from
entrepreneurship, healthcare, arts, social work and community leadership.
Alongside celebrated professionals, the organisers consciously chose to
recognise women whose stories often remain outside the public gaze.
“International
Women’s Day is not only a celebration of women’s achievements but also a
reminder of the strength, resilience and compassion that women bring to every
sphere of life. Platforms like ‘She Shines’ are important because they
recognise not only well-known achievers but also the many unsung women whose
determination quietly transforms families and communities. When we acknowledge
their journeys, we inspire the next generation of young women to believe in
their own potential and contribute meaningfully to society”, said Prof.
Manoshi Roychowdhury, Co-Chairperson of Techno India Group and
Co-Chancellor of Techno India University.
“As an
organisation we have always tried to stand beside women and support their
aspirations. Being a woman myself, I understand the many dimensions of their
struggles and their strength. I want women to feel comfortable approaching me
with their concerns, because our institution believes in listening and
supporting. In today’s event we have also chosen to highlight our women
dialysis patients, who endure immense hardship in the course of their
treatment. Their resilience reminds us that womanhood often carries burdens
that remain unseen, yet these women continue to face life with remarkable
courage”, Ms Mona Sarkar, CEO of Techno India Dama Hospital.
“Every year
our effort has been to create a platform where women from every walk of life
are acknowledged with equal dignity. We are not merely discussing gender; we
are celebrating the idea of women standing for one another. That spirit
resonates beautifully with this year’s theme, ‘Give to Gain.’ Many of the women
we honour today are not widely known, yet their indomitable resolve constantly
reminds us that adversity cannot silence the human will. Some battle illness,
some struggle with financial hardship, and others confront deeply personal
trials—yet they continue to stand tall, sharing the same platform with
luminaries such as Prof. Manoshi Roychowdhury, Chaiti Ghoshal, Dr. C.S. Adv
Mamta Binani and many others”, Ms Moonmoon Chakraborty, CEO of Woman
Times.
A special
segment of the programme honoured “Unsung Sheroes”—women whose
everyday labour and persistence sustain families and communities. Among them
were women cab drivers, women artisans from Kumartuli, and several others whose
lives stood as quiet testimonies of endurance and self-respect.
The
celebration also acknowledged the remarkable courage of women dialysis
patients, whose relentless medical journeys are often accompanied by immense
physical, emotional and social challenges.
As part of
the programme, a Special Attention Health Session was also
organised to address important aspects of women’s physical and mental
well-being. The session featured expert insights from Dr Rajashree Roy
Badyopadhayay, Psychiatrist, Dr Amrita Chaudhury, Obstetrician
& Gynaecologist and Dr Payel Kr Roy, Critical Care
Nutritionist & Clinical Dietician, who shared guidance on mental
health, women’s reproductive health, and the importance of balanced nutrition
in sustaining overall wellness. The interactive session aimed to create greater
awareness and encouraged women to prioritise their health while managing the
many responsibilities of everyday life.
The
programme featured felicitation ceremonies, personal interactions, and
reflective moments celebrating women whose journeys inspired courage and hope.
Through this initiative, the organisers hoped to nurture a culture that not
only applauds achievement but also honours resilience.
