She highlighted the various roles a woman gracefully executes- as daughter, sister, mother, career woman etc. as a true agent of change. Motivating the girl students to be strong, compassionate and fearless in pursuing their dreams, she also urged the boys to regard, respect and support the women in their lives for all their countless and loving services.
