On the occasion of International Women’s Day celebrations, a special awareness seminar was organized for students on Monday at Sri Ramakrishna Degree College, Nandyal. The seminar was conducted under the auspices of the Women Empowerment Organization and primarily focused on the theme of “Self-Employment.”

Mrs. Lavanya Ramani attended the event as the Chief Guest. The seminar was held under the chairmanship of Prof. G. Ramakrishna Reddy, Chairman of the College. Ratna Madam, Lalitha Saraswathi Madam, Karuna Madam, faculty members, and a large number of students participated in the program.

Key Highlights of the Seminar

• Definition of Business:
  The speakers explained that business is not limited to the buying and selling of goods. Utilizing one’s skills and abilities to generate income independently can also be considered a form of business.
• Technology and Employment:
  In the context of growing technological advancements leading to limited employment opportunities, women were encouraged to become self-reliant and stand on their own feet without depending on others.
• Overcoming Challenges:
  The speakers emphasized that women should not allow marriage, childcare responsibilities, or financial difficulties to hinder their personal and professional growth. They encouraged women to move forward with confidence and determination, stating that they can reach the highest levels of success.
• SWOT Analysis:
  Students were advised to understand their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) to better assess their capabilities and plan their future effectively.

Later, the guests answered several questions raised by the students. They motivated the participants by stating that “Success comes when you pursue the work you love with passion, and challenges should be faced with courage and determination.”

On this occasion, Mrs. Lavanya Ramani was felicitated by Prof. G. Ramakrishna Reddy, Chairman of the College, along with the faculty members, in recognition of her valuable contribution to the seminar.
