“From the engaging discussions to the thought-provoking Q&As, the event was a dynamic and interactive experience. The event was more than just a discussion; it was an interactive experience that energised and empowered attendees.,” the tweet read further.

Importantly, the W20 initiative under India’s G20 chairmanship emphasises Women’s Entrepreneurship, Grassroot Women Leadership, Bridging the Gender Digital Divide, Education and Skill Development, and Climate Change.
Dr Sandhya Purecha, the W20 Chair of India, was present during the event.
The first event, an India Roundtable on the topic of ‘Leveraging Public-Private Commitment for Women’s Greater Access to Technology and Education’, took place at the UN Headquarters on March 13 from 3:00 pm to 4:15 pm (EST).
India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj, recently said that India is ready to take its place at the global top tables including G-20 and the UN Security Council presidency as the country is willing to bring solutions to the table.
During a press briefing earlier, when asked about UNSC reforms and India’s permanent seat at the security council, Kamboj said, “India is ready to take its place at the global top tables as a country that is willing to bring solutions to the table. One of the central tenets of our foreign policy is human-centric and which will remain the same.”
Ambassador Kamboj told reporters that even as the world grapples with a pandemic and multilateralism is under stress, India has emerged as a rallying point of hope on the international stage.
“In the last 2 years when the world was going through a crisis, India has always been there as a solution provider. Like during COVID and more such matters, India is already ready to take its place at the global top table,” she added.
