the importance of early detection and screening for controlling the condition as
well as preventive measures.
The chief guest Shri Vinay Kumar, Director (Technical) NMDC said, “As we
celebrate International Women’s Day, we are reminded of the pivotal role of
women in our society. With the female labor participation rate rising to 37% in
2023, it’s evident that women’s contributions are integral to achieving India’s vision
of becoming a 5 trillion economy.”
