Through the pages of history and present, women have defied expectations, gone against the grain of male-dominated societies and cultures, and rightfully claimed the recognition they merit. The applause rings for days when a woman triumphs despite all odds. For instance, Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields—Physics and Chemistry. Kalpana Chawla, who first etched her name in space, being the first woman of Indian origin to fly to space. And most recently, Manu Bhakar, who became the first Indian woman shooter to win two Olympics medals in the 10m pistol event.
“International Women’s Day” is an opportunity to rejoice in the progress made towards achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment, but also to critically reflect on those accomplishments and strive for greater momentum. This day commemorates the beauty, diversity, and achievements of women all across the world. The theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 is “Accelerate Action”. At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158 to achieve full gender parity, according to the World Economic Forum. This year’s campaign emphasises the urgency and importance of accelerating efforts to eliminate systemic barriers and biases that impede women’s equality.
On the event of International Women’s Day (March 8), Achievers’ World aims to recognize and honour Iconic women working diligently personally, professionally, socially, and eventually contributing to Naari–Shakti, with Women Icon Award.
Achievers’ World takes pride in celebrating awe inspiring women’ s achievements who are contributing towards social development and nation-building by achieving the extraordinary. Achievers’ World identifies such talents, and shines a spotlight on their accomplishments, sharing their inspiring stories with the world. On International Women’s Day, we aim to honour their diverse roles—whether as educators, corporate leaders, nurses, artists, beauticians, social workers, or more—by acknowledging their impactful contributions. The underlying idea of felicitating outstanding achievements through these awards is to bring people of diverse arenas together and give them a common platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, ideas, thoughts, views and networking.
Garib, Yuva, Annadata, Nari – are the four pillars of Viksit Bharat 2047 and empowering each one of these four is crucial to materialize Viksit Bharat’s vision by 2047. Empowering women (Nari) is not only a social imperative but a strategic move for economic growth and long-term sustainable development. Viksit Bharat cannot thrive if half its population is left behind. Empowering women creates a ripple effect, influencing multiple dimensions of society and catalyzing progress across various sectors.
Stories of such resilience serve as a powerful medium to inspire, influence, and shape the narratives for future generations. By amplifying their voices, we not only honour their accomplishments but reignite the ripple effect of social change.
