On March 8th, we celebrate International Women's Day with a firm commitment to this year's theme – “She Builds BHARAT”. The Andaman & Nicobar UT is dedicated to empowering women and ensuring their equal role in nation-building.
This day is a call to action-a reminder that gender equality is essential for progress. True empowerment comes when every woman has the freedom, opportunity, and respect to pursue her dreams without barriers. Ensuring equal rights, safety and dignity for women is not just a duty but a necessity for the growth of our Islands and the Nation.
