 Recent Research carried out by the University of California
neuroscientists assisted by their colleagues in Madrid has proved that women
have smaller but smarter brains than men. True to the above findings, the
Women’s Grievance Retrieval Committee (WGRC) of SRM University has identified
the two of the best known women achievers to preside over the International
Women’s day celebration here at Dr. T. P. Ganesan Auditorium on March 8, 2013.<o:p></o:p></div>

Smt. Jayanthi Natarajan, Hon’ble Minister for Environment
and Forests, Government of India was the Chief Guest and Ms. Lethika Saran,
Retired DGP, Tamil Nadu was the special guest of the occasion.  The celebration started with the Bharatnatyam
performance by the students. Dr. N. Chandraprabha, Director of Health Sciences
delivered the welcome address and she highlighted the ‘theme of International
Women’s day 2013: Time for action to end violence against women’. She
introduced the guests to the audience.<o:p></o:p>

Dr. M. Ponnavaiko, the Vice Chancellor, SRM University in
his presidential address said that women are wonderful creation by the
God.  Smt. Jayanthi Natarajan in her
address said that all days should be observed as international women’s day. A
lawyer by profession, she expressed the concern that Indian Constitution
supposedly one of the best constitutions in the world has mention about women
only six times and out of which five times they are referred with children.<o:p></o:p>

Women’s Reservation Bill<o:p></o:p>

Smt. Jayanthi
Natarajan received a huge round of applause when she assured that the UPA
government will leave no stone unturned to pass the women’s bill in the Lok
Sabha. She also noted that the bill has already been passed in the Rajya Sabha.<o:p></o:p>

Suggestions by the Minister<o:p></o:p>

She suggested an
exclusive bus service for women, especially during the night, with adequate
interior lighting and provisions for operation between 7 PM and 7 AM with women
drivers. Calling for more women in the police force, Jayanthi Natarajan said of
the total 16.6 lakh-strong police force, women constituted a mere 13.3 per cent
(93,887). ‘’In the north-eastern State of Mizoram, there are no women police
personnel at all, whereas in states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, the number
of women police personnel is more,’’ she said. 
The Minister added that women are not the weaker sex, they excel in
various fields ranging from construction industry to space research.<o:p></o:p>

Woman of Substance, Ms. Lethika Saran Says Help the Police
to Curb Violence 
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
 Ms. Lethika Saran,
the Special Guest stated that women have become independent and they take
decisions not only for themselves but also for their family. She recalled the
gender sensitivity programs she had conducted during her service as the
Director General of Police in Tamil Nadu. Now women have empowered themselves
and they can balance their professional and personal life.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ms. Lethika Saran noted in her special address that the root
cause for all women related issues is the patriarchal society. She also said that
if a legal issue is identified by the people it is the duty of the citizens to
approach a local police station and file a case. She also added that
approaching the police is often conceived as a threat to the prestige of the
family. But the taboo is getting eliminated and the perception still needs to
be changed.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
 Dr. T. P. Ganesan, Pro-Vice Chancellor Planning and
Development and Dr. P. Thangaraju, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Medical also spoke on
the occasion. Dr. Jayashree Suresh , Dean, School of Management delivered the
vote of thanks. A debate also held on the topic, “Who are responsible for
sexual harassment, men or women?” A group of students represented each of the
argument and put forth their ideas. Dr. Ramalingam, Professor, Department of
Tamil, University of Madras moderated the debate. The program was truly turned
out to be an inspiring element to the women folks of the University.</div>
