Grateful to N A Haris foundation for honoring me with the ‘Nalpad Women’s award’ (Women of worth) on the occasion of International Women’s Day. It was a privilege to share the stage with women achievers from different walks of life. Many thanks to Dr C Manohar for nominating me for this award. Highlight of the evening was receiving heartfelt blessings from the very affectionate 108 years young ajji, Padma Shri Saalumarada Thimmakka.
