Kolkata:
President Pratibha Patil Wednesday said women empowerment is very
important for developing India into a powerful nation.
"Women empowerment is very important for the development of the
nation. If women become powerful, the nation will also become
powerful along with them," Patil said while addressing the
platinum jubilee celebration of the All India Marwari Federation
here.
She said just like a car cannot move without wheels, a nation
cannot also progress without its two wheels -- men and women.
Talking about the business sector, the president said it plays an
important role in the prosperity of the country, but it is even
more important to maintain ethics in business.
"...In an era where newer technological innovation is the need of
the hour, it is even more important to maintain ethics at
workplace," she said.
Patil said the characteristic of "unity in diversity" in India has
made it unique in the world. "In our country we have people of
various religions, castes, languages. This uniqueness sets India
apart from all other countries," she said.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
