"It was a member bonding activity," says Sona Chatwani. More than 300 members attended the event and got enthralled by Adil Hissaini.
Making use of the occasion, Sona got three new initiatives unveiled by past Chairpersons of the FLO. These initiatives include: 'Indigenius Agriculture' and 'In Hub'.
Taking forward the National theme of the year 'Women in Agriculture' announced by the National president Harjinder Kaur Talwar, FLO Hyderabad Chapter unveiled this initiative.
"The initiative aims to recognise the role of women in the sector where the largest chunk of women is engaged," informed Sona. "If we empower this sector, we will empower India and its growth," she added.
Sona says, "With this initiative, FLO aims to play the role of the facilitator and thought leader in changing lives of women, by empowering them economically and otherwise and by being the collective voice for policy change."
This is the first time that FLO has taken up 'Agriculture' as one of its primary initiatives, towards the goal of women empowerment.
'In Hub' is another initiative aims to make FLO a potential organisation to support its members by providing in-house help and connect with professionals.
