Dr. Rao shared valuable insights and expertise, encouraging women to prioritize their mental health and cultivate a positive mindset. Addressing the gathering, Vishwanath Suresh, Director (Commercial), NMDC, emphasized, “Inclusion and diversity must go beyond words, and it should be an integral part of an organization’s fabric. At NMDC, we have already made history with our first woman director, and our women employees continue to break glass ceilings, redefining leadership in mining and beyond.” He highlighted NMDC's commitment to fostering a culture of inclusivity, where diverse perspectives and talents are valued to drive success. Dr C Manjula Rao emphasized the transformative power of self-confidence and mindset shifts and said, “Empowerment begins with a shift in mindset.

Every change we make today creates a better world for the next generation of women tomorrow.”The event concluded on a high note with an exciting array of games and a rich cultural event, specially curated for the women employees.
