New Delhi [India], March 8: On the preceding eve of International Women's Day, the prestigious Speaker Hall at the Constitution Club of India became the epicenter of a transformative dialogue as the "NARI Shakti Spark Symposium" unfolded its agenda to celebrate and empower women across diverse sectors. Hosted by the revered Founder & Co-Founder of Mediways Health Foundation, Mr. Anurag Srivastava and Mr. Brijesh Srivastava, in collaboration with Inner Wheel District 301, the symposium marked a pivotal moment in recognising the invaluable contributions of women to India's progress.
