The Library and Information Centre of Progressive Education Society's Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce (Autonomous), Shivajinagar, Pune-5 celebrated the Birth Anniversary of First Women Teacher of India 'Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule' today on 3rd January 2022 as per the guidelines in Government of Maharashtra Resolutions. Savitribai Phule was a social reformer, educationalist, and poet from Maharashtra.
Respected Principal Dr.Rajendra S. Zunjarrao Sir, College Librarian Dr. Shantashree Sengupta and Library Staff paid their respect to Savitribai Phule.
Principal Sir briefly addressed the great contributions of Savitribai Phule regarding how she demanded dignity for all women, for which she, along with her husband Jyotirao Phule worked their entire lives. The principles of humanity, equality, liberty and justice were of utmost importance to her. During a time when women education was not thought of, she ignited a spark that led to equality in education. In 2021, the Government of Maharashtra declared 3rd January to be celebrated as *Women's Education Day (Mahila Shikshan Din)*
All the rules of physical distancing were followed during the programme. I am thankful to the library staff members who were present during the programme.
Regards,
Dr.Shantashree Sengupta, Librarian.
