As a part of the weeklong celebration of the International Women’s Day 2023, the Doyang Hydro Power Station of North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) conducted a Seminar & Workshop on Women Empowerment and Women’s Health on Thursday.

The women employees of NEEPCO and its associated organisations, namely Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya (VKV) & State Bank of India (SBI) and local women’s residing around Doyang Hydro attended the programme.

The prime objective of the programme was to help women adopt a life of holistic wellness for their all-round being.

Special guest EAC, Wokha Rozy Sangtam, NCS talked about empowering women and highlighted that equality doesn’t mean physical but cerebral equality. Also, in the name of patriarchy and traditional laws, we also need to check if it is violating human rights and we should also give a space for reflection on such laws.

The Resource person of the programme, Bokatoli Sumi, Counselling psychologist from Serendip Guardian spoke about the Women’s mental health and wellbeing in relation to reproductive health, stress, trauma, suicide and ended with self-care activities.

The Women folks were engaged into activities like adult colouring, breathing exercises and self-reflection questions. She also further emphasized and encouraged working on self-care plan.
