Women empowerment is an important agenda for our nation and the SNDT University has been in the centre and front of driving this priority for India since 1916. Today, as I pen my thoughts for this very special publication, I take immense pride in having completed my Master's Degree in Economics from this illustrious university.

SNDT University has been the feature of my journey, like it has been for so many more before me. This year, as it completes its centennial year, one can only stand back and reflect at the number of lives it has touched, changed and empowered over the years and will continue to do for years to come. I owe much to this great institution that has, with great tenacity, through its reputed and passionate teachers, provided me with the foundation on which I have built my career.
