International Women's Day 2025 theme says "For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment," The meaning of the theme has been aptly put into practice by Dr Ganesh Rakh from Metrpoly Hospital ,Pune.Dr Ganesh Rakh has delivered over 1,000 girls free of cost in a decade-long mission thousands. He has set a mission to protect the girl child and over a decade, a thousand girls have been delivered free of cost.
NCCHWO believes in equality of gender. Many poor people try to get the female fetus aborted,as they cannot afford hospital bills. The efforts of Dr Ganesh Rakh encourages these people to go for delivery, saving life of an unborn girl child. To appreciate such a Noble Service, Brig Harcharan Singh, National Administrator NCCHWO and Mrs Paramjit Kaur, National President Women Empowerment Cell, NCCHWO visited Metropolis Hospital at Pune and felicitated Dr Ganesh Rakh and his initiative. Through his social service, his efforts have challenged social stigma around female births. He is combining the medical services with social movement to reaffirm the gender equality.
The NCCHWO has great respect for likes of Dr Ganesh Rakh, setting examples for other citizens. However NCCHWO will continue its efforts to change societal attitudes, with an aim to emphasizing the value of daughters and addressing the root causes like the dowry system and discrimination. Our Projects are designed for empowering every woman—urban or rural, young or elderly— to live with dignity, safety, and self-reliance. Self Defence training for girl students, Adoption of Veer Naris and help to poor widows are steps in this direction.
