| Beyond the Glass Ceiling: MCM empowers young women to challenge stereotypes and lead | | | Early Times Report CHANDIGARH, Nov 14: The Women Development Cell of Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, under the aegis of Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), organised an insightful workshop on 'The Glass Ceiling: Reality, Excuse or Something in Between' to sensitise students to the invisible barriers that continue to impede women's growth and advancement in professional and personal spheres. The workshop featured Ms. Nidhi Lall, Senior Vice President, Publicis Groupe, as the resource person. Through an engaging and interactive session, Ms. Lall highlighted gender-based disparities in roles and responsibilities within society, drawing attention to the limited exposure and career opportunities often available to women. She encouraged students to cultivate leadership qualities, strengthen their life skills and explore avenues for creating more inclusive opportunities. Addressing the young participants, Ms. Lall urged them to recognise and challenge the structural, personal and cultural barriers that constitute the glass ceiling. Emphasising the importance of mentorship, she encouraged women to seek guidance and support while carving their own paths to success. She also inspired the students to embrace courage, independence and self-confidence rather than conforming to societal expectations associated with the 'good girl syndrome'. Officiating Principal Ms. Neena Sharma stated that such initiatives play a vital role in nurturing confident, independent and socially conscious women who can become catalysts for positive change. She added that in today's evolving professional landscape, it is imperative that young women develop leadership skills, assert their individuality and pursue opportunities without being constrained by gender stereotypes. |
