Dr. Shalya Raj received the Award for doing commendable work related to the mainstreaming of society, especially by educating women in the country.
Dr. Shalya Raj thanked the initiative of the Transport Department, Traffic Police & Mishika Society, My City. She said that women have to become educated and aware of their rights so that they can prove their talent on par with men in different areas of society. She said that today, the 21st century is the century of women, educated and aware women are doing pioneering work from running the family, to piloting fighter planes and also leading the country. It has been proved by the leadership that women in society are at par with men in every field, but only some conservative elements of our society try to suppress the voice of women which is very condemnable. She said that the development of the country can only happen when the woman is educated and an educated woman educates the whole family, so women need to be aware of education and law. She said that the form of a woman is many, a woman is Durga, a woman is Lakshmi, a woman is Parvati, a woman is Saraswati i.e. woman is revered in every form.
