The power of womanhood has been extolled in poetry and prose, both ancient and modern.\nThroughout history, women have played, and continue to play, a significant role in the advancement\nof civilization. Yet, their contribution remains hidden to most of us. To address this anonymity,\nan effort has been made to bemoan the loss to any culture that denies women the opportunity to\ncontribute.\nThe inadequate participation of women in public spaces and platforms also hurts our economy, much\nmore than we can at times fathom. Seldom it is that large figures are quoted about the immense\nvalue that women can add, and now, the time has come for an empowering vision and robust action\nto make change happen.\nNari Shakti: Women take Centre Stage is a contribution to the body of knowledge in this field and\nis particularly relevant at a time when Indian women have contributed nationally and globally. The\nfocus here is on how Indian womanhood has evolved and the factors that have shaped their status\nin society. Various authors have present different points of view addressing the challenges and\nopportunities for women in different strata of society. From mythology to documented corporate\nsuccess in India and abroad, from supporting the tribal girl child to skilling and mentoring young\nwomen to success, and from policies to pragmatic methods for ensuring women play their role in\ngovernment, the corporate sector and entrepreneurship, our galaxy of high-achieving women and\nmen have bared their hearts to us and shared their views on the unleashing of Women Power (Nari\nShakti).\nThe book underscores the significance of women’s participation in the economic growth of the nation\nand the pathways to achieve this. As a nation, we should settle for nothing less!\n
