The Department of Women’s Studies, Bharathidasan University, has invited applications/nominations for its Munnodi Penmani (Role Model) award given to women achievers annually on International Women’s Day on March 8.
The award seeks to identify “unsung heroines” rendering selfless services to society. Women working in various fields, including academia, research, extension, arts, media, management, science, medicine and engineering, can apply. Entrepreneurs, leaders, physically challenged, self-help groups and those working in non-conventional areas can apply.
