The committee president, Papia Chakraborty said that ‘Ananya,’ the name of Maa Durga out of 108 names, symbolizes the victory of truth over untruth and the victory of good over evil. In today’s male-dominated society, the Mahila Samiti decided to perform all the activities of Durga Utsav with the cooperation of women.
“Women from all walks of life are involved in the Samiti, including teachers, lawyers, bank officers, company managers, musicians, painters, artists to name a few,” said Chakraborty, adding that along with General Secretary Sumona Chakraborty and Joint Secretary Vichitra Ghosh, the whole team is all pumped up to make it a trendsetter.
Sumona Chakraborty has urged everyone to participate in the Durga Puja festival at Banquet Hall located at Sector 2, Rajendra Nagar of Sahibabad. The executive committee members are confident that this Durga Utsav, which is being organised from October 1st to 5th, will present a unique example of ‘Ananya Nari’ displaying women-power in the true sense.
