Women’s Day Special Podcast Series
By Bharat Yadav, Prachi Singh and Jeyahsri Rengaraju
This March, to conclude our month long celebration for women, we bring to you a series of podcasts.
In this first episode Part 1, we have Bharat, Jeyashri and Prachi quizzing people, within and around the institute, on the statistics of women in India. Let us see women (in India) in numbers as seen by Indians.
The second episode Part 2 focuses on the conversation that trio had with general public and peers about the issues that women are facing in the society.
In this last episode Part 3, the trio discussed about the changes that can be incorporated like menstrual leave, childcare leaves and the changes that women wish to foresee for a better society.
