Talking on the selected theme and contest, Fr. Christie, Director, LIBA, said,” “Principle 6 of the United Nations Global Compact exhorts business enterprises to eliminate all forms of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. It is extremely important to encourage women entrepreneurs and bring them into mainstream arena so that they are recognized for their work and contribution to the corporate and entrepreneurial world. I am pleased that this year’s Mindful Leadership offers a distinguished platform for the younger generation to come forward and reflect on this vital issue and to leave us with thought- provoking insights on the development of aspiring women entrepreneurs in India.”
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Mathew Shank, Dean of the University of Dayton (UD), said, By focusing on ways to enhance women's participation in the workplace and marketplace, the entrants in the Mindful Leadership Competition have demonstrated the important contributions women can make towards a more just, economically vibrant future for all. I look forward to welcoming the winner to the U.S. and to our campus and hearing first-hand their ideas for greater women's involvement in the business world."
With the nation celebrating International Women’s Day every year and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) making mandatory for companies to have one among five of their independent director as a woman and UPA government making efforts to reserve 1/3rd of the seats in Parliament/ Assembly for women this year, India is indeed waking up towards empowering women. On this and many more and with the intention of capturing the views of the young Indian’s, Mindful Leadership Competition 2011 quite aptly succeeded in sharing commendable views on how businesses in India can unleash the potential of women and actively promote their rights and well being for the comprehensive economic growth for the country.
