Jammu: On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Movement Kalki – The Future Thinkers organized a grand programme at Arya Samaj Mandir, Jammu, to celebrate and honour women for their remarkable contributions in different fields.

Addressing the gathering, Deepak Singh, Founder of Movement Kalki, said that the primary objective of the organization is to establish Dharma in society and eliminate Adharma. He emphasized that women play a very important role in shaping society and it is essential to make them aware of their strength and potential.

Looking at history, women have faced exploitation and harassment for a long time, which has contributed to moral decline in society. He urged people to remain aware and respectful towards women and to stand firmly against any injustice.
