The Theme we have chosen, “INDIA-Let Her Live”, shall highlight the social paradox of “Devi Durga”- one of the most worshipped female deities in Hindu culture & considered to be an incarnation of “Shakti” (divine superpower) being worshipped, even as the real life “Devis”- the female children- are denied a chance to live, due to outdated beliefs and customs. It is our effort to support the Hon. Prime Minister’s “Beti Bachao, Beti Padao” programme.
This event is supported and powered by prominent Brands like Air Asia, Cleartrip, Max Hospital, Kolln, What’s Up Gurgaon and Good Show Events & Exhibitions and many more.
