“Dear Friends of Queen Mary’s College, inspiring women of today and leaders of tomorrow” – these were my words that kicked off an unforgettable day at Queen Mary’s College.
It was truly an honor to receive an invitation from this historic institution, the First Women’s College of Madras. I was the Guest of Honour for Madras Day Celebrations conducted by Department of Geography and Tourism.
My one-hour session on Women Empowerment, Patriotism, and the History of Madras was met with enthusiasm and warmth from the students. The NCC cadets welcomed me with a guard of honor, and I had the privilege of distributing certificates to the students. The standing ovation at the end left me deeply humbled. Being part of this 110-year-old legacy is something I will cherish forever. Thank you, Queen Mary’s College, for the respect and love you’ve shown me!
