Women Power ‘Naari Shakti’

Posted by Shruti Sarma Hazarika | Apr 24, 2013 | Articles |

A country which ignores its women can never truly develop into a real nation. Like a building that will have a weak foundation without pillars, women too play an important role in developing a society and help build a strong foundation.
