 It is my privilege to be here with all of you today in this esteemed institute of Tedso College. I am very thankful to the principal of this college for inviting us, MCW, to be with you all in this very, very important seminar. I thank my colleague from the Nagaland State Commission for Women who accompany me for this program today. And I thank to all of you, the participants, because without you this seminar would have not been this beautiful today morning. I am also considered a privilege of mine to attend this program in this Tedso College. As I am aware that Tedso College is concerned and it's trying to foster a nurture for a better future generation. Because the coming generation and new students also who are willing to participate in this program of capacity building, one thing is that, do you know I am sharing a very special bond and connection with this Tedso College. Are you all aware of that? Any guess? I am sharing this very special bond with Tedso College because the founder of this college graduated from Shalom, from my state, that is from St. Edmunds College. Am I right? Do you all aware? He could not hear very good response from all of you. You are not aware of that one? Sir P.S. Larin, am I pronouncing correctly? This hall also is in his memory. Am I right? So that's why I am sharing a very special bond because I also am from Meghalaya. I think you can identify me by my dress also. So I was also informed that Tedso College, you know, you collaborate with many esteemed institutes to provide more knowledge, more better education to its students including we, the NCW. This capacity building and personality development, it's an initiative program started by NCW. For this, we advertise all over India so that the colleges, institutes could participate and contribute and can organize this type of seminar in their own institute. After we advertise this, we received around 152 proposals from all over India. But you are the lucky few. We have selected 61 institutes all over India and this Tedso College is one of the, one among those 61 colleges or institutes to be selected and to be, to accept your proposal for this program. So I consider this college to be one of the best colleges in the entire North Eastern states because from the North is, as I am aware this is the only one college that we are, we have accept your proposal for this capacity building and personality development. I won't go to explain on what is the capacity building or the personality development because we have very good resource person who will guide you in this matter better than me. I'm not a very good speaker. I'm not a very good resource person. But being in the member of NCW gave me an opportunity to speak in front of you. As she introduced me that Ms. Jamil has introduced me and Mam also has introduced me as a lawyer. Yes, I am a lawyer. You know what? I have never speak to this large audience because my audience is only the judge. So I'm a bit, you know, hesitate to speak in front of all of you, but I'm trying my best. And so regarding NCW, if we speak about NCW, Mam has already explained what is our work? What are we doing? But I would like to add to her information that she shared. We at NCW, we have various cells from where we perform our own work. We have the CNI that is the complaint and investigation cell. We have this cell. We receive complaints of atrocities against women from all over the country. And I'm very privileged to, you know, I have been allotted with 10 states to look after all the complaints, all the investigation, or whatever the matter related to the atrocities against women or the crime against women to look after all those matters. So I have the entire Nord-Eastern states, that is our eight states, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, all the entire Nord-Eastern states, plus two states that is Maharashtra and Rajasthan. So in case there is any complaint arising from this 10 states, I will be the one who will be responsible to go for an inquiry, to investigate the matter, and to decide the matter or the subject matter that we received as a complaint. So all of you also, if you have any, any information about any crimes against women, anything, or you witness in the society, you can approach to us by going through the website of NCW, and we have down on the website, you can see the complaint, complaint and investigation cell, you can write down your complaint, you can e-mail your complaint through that CNI cell. All right, so participate in all this matter, if you see anything injustice in the society, you should have the courage to raise your voice. So this is what we support from NCW. Another one we have the legal cell. As Ma'am mentioned that we have the rights to recommends to the central government to advise the central government to, you know, to, for the safeguards of women and all, regarding the laws and regulation related to women, how to make it better for the women to live in our society. We have the PMR cell that is the policy monitoring and research cell. I heard, I was informed from this college also you have submitted some of the research program to the NCW, and I know, and I'm sure that we will, you know, refer your proposal again so that I'll get a chance once again to visit Tedso College. Then we have the NRI cell. NRI cell, we have witnessed in our society, especially in the state of Punjab, South Indian states and all, we witness that many women married to the NRI, non-residents Indian. They married to them and they have to go to their respective state where their husband lived, like in the U.S., in other foreign countries. But after they reached there, they mistreated them. They leave them. They abandoned them. They desert them for other women. So for this also, we have the NRI cell to provide help to all those women, Indian women, who married to the NRI and abandoned in that particular country alone, where they don't have anyone. Nobody will support them, but they also incidentally reach them and support them for whatever they need for their protection. We have a very special cell also, our North East cell. Recently, I think from Nagaland, some of the students visited the PMO office also last year. So, you know, this policy, this North East cell, it is formed in relation to the policy that the Prime Minister has said. The time is now to act East. It's not to look East. Before, we used to hear about that scheme, that look East policy. But this time, after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi come into power, he decided that we should act East. So through this policy, we started the North East cell and we have our North East hostel, where the working women from wherever in the North Eastern states, who are from the North Eastern states, they could stay there in that hostel and work from that hostel. As we all know, if we go outside our state, many people call us Chinese, Nepali, they won't recognize us. So for our supports, for our protection, NCW started this North Eastern hostel through the North East cell. We also have the Jammu and Kashmir cell. These two are very special cells, North East cell and the Jammu and Kashmir cell. Then we have a Somoto cell, as Ma'am mentioned before. What are we doing in this Somoto cell? In Somoto cell, there is a heinous crime committed against women. We came to know about this incident through media, through social media, through newspaper or through the news channel. If we think that this is a very heinous crime against women, for example, I'll give it to you. Recently you heard about that Delhi murder case, where a 16-year-old girl was stabbed for several times. In that matter also, we took a Somoto case and went for an inquiry. I was the one who went for that inquiry and we inquired about that and we issue an order that within 40 days, this person should be charged sheeted and as soon as possible, the victim should be given a proper justice. So this is what we are doing and apart from conducting seminar in collaboration with all the colleges, institutes, all over India, this is our main function. If you have time, you can come and visit our office in New Delhi. We do accept the proposal of the colleges or the institutions to visit our NCW, but for that you have to give us prior notice so that we can arrange for it in a proper way. So do make sure that one day all of you will come and visit our office in Delhi also. I extend my invitation to all of you, do come to my office. So as I said, if we talk about capacity building, we have our good resource person, but I just want to tell you, we as women, we already, we are already empowered because we are the divine creator of the Almighty. We are biologically very strong, but it is only the society that weaken us. We are already very strong, very straightforward, especially in our North Eastern states. We are very, very much far ahead of our women or sisters in other parts of the country. But the only thing is that whatever instincts, whatever skills, whatever knowledge we have through this seminar, it is just to help you enhance your skills, your instinct, which you already have in you. We just remind you that you are valuable, you are priceless for our society. Everything, you know, you should start by yourself. Think from your within. Think from yourself. Love yourself. First, in our Kashi, we have this principle, one of the principle that we say, E Yelade Buram Yakiwe, which means first of all, love yourself and then respect others. This is our tenet in the Kashi society, in our Kashi culture. And I believe all of us as the Bharatiya, as an Indian, we have this same culture and practice that we should love ourselves and respect others also. We should not create noisiness to the person sitting next to us. So what I mean to say here is nobody will come and spoon feed you. All you have to start by yourself. Okay? If you don't understand anything like in college also, it's not that your teacher comes to you and say, come and take admission in our college. They cannot come, they sit door to door, but it's you who approach the college. Am I right? Because you want to learn. So in capacity building and skill and personality development also, it is all that you have to start by yourself. Start from today, analyze your capacity, analyze your skills. And by attending the seminar, I believe that you can enhance your skill, your listening skills, your skills to face and interview, to prepare your resume and many, many skills that we all have already possess within us. So as I said, I won't go to the personality development and the capacity building because I know they are experts over here. And one more thing I would like to suggest all of you that you should idealize someone. You should idealize someone, some very successful person. Analyze how hard they work to achieve their own goals. You have a very best example of here also, your principal man who is here. You can idealize her as a woman. You can analyze if you want to become a politician, idealize some politician. If you want to become an IPS officer, idealize Hiran Bedi or any other person whom you know personally also. So as I said, always should start from within, should start from yourself. Having said that, I would like to wish all of you for a lighting and a fruitful seminar of the capacity building and personality development. And I wish you all very, very best for your bright future. Thank you so much.
