Women’s Day 2022
With the passing away of every good thing from Pandora’s box, only “HOPE” remains with us, and that ” HOPE ” is certainly our Mother, Sister, Wife and Daughter. “HOPE” is WOMEN.
This year Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) celebrated its first ever International Women’s Day, and embraced this particular day to celebrate every woman in LIBA for their contribution and dedication not just as faculty, students or helpers but as strong pillars of the institution, handling all their responsibilities effortlessly and gracefully. The event was jointly organised by Prof. C.K. Prahalad Centre for Emerging India and LIBA Student Activities Council (SAC). It wouldn’t be wrong to call 11th March, 2022 as a Grand Slam, as the day had various prominent women amongst the gathering, each who paved their own paths and stood with their heads held high as motivation for other women to carve their own niche.
Tmt. Kanimozhi, Honourable Member of Parliament and Secretary, Women’s Wing, DMK was invited as the Chief Guest to address everyone present, along with two other renowned trendsetters, Ms. Nilavarasi, the Youngest Woman Councilor – Ward 136, Greater Chennai Corporation and Ms. Sabitha, representative of transgender community.
The event began with our LIBA choir, euphoniously invoking God’s blessings. Later, true to LIBA tradition, came the watering of the plant sapling by our Chief guest, Tmt. Kanimozhi followed by Ms. Nilavarasi and Ms. Amala Noble, Treasurer, SAC. This act symbolized our desire and our attitude towards preserving and protecting the environment. Fr Director along with Fr Rector welcomed our esteemed Chief Guest, with a souvenir – a photo frame that contained signatures of all the LIBA women on it. After this warm welcome came forth yet another gratifying moment where our beloved transgenders who were trained by LIBA were called upon the stage and were facilitated by our Fr Director and Fr Rector.
