Hyderabad, March 10
On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Hybiz TV organized the 6th Edition of Women’s Leadership Awards 2025 in Hyderabad on 7th March. At the ceremony, Smt. G. Priyadarshini, NMDC’s newly appointed Director (Personnel), was felicitated under the category of Government Service for her exceptional contributions to leadership and governance.
Continuing the momentum of International Women’s Day celebrations, NMDC hosted a mental health
talk at its Head Office on the same day. The session featured Dr. C. Manjula Rao, a renowned Clinical
Psychologist from Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, as the guest speaker. The talk centered around women’s
mental health and overall well-being, emphasizing the vital role of resilience and self-empowerment. Dr.
Rao shared valuable insights and expertise, encouraging women to prioritize their mental health and
cultivate a positive mindset.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Vishwanath Suresh, Director (Commercial), NMDC, emphasized,
“Inclusion and diversity must go beyond words, and it should be an integral part of an organization’s
fabric. At NMDC, we have already made history with our first woman director, and our women
employees continue to break glass ceilings, redefining leadership in mining and beyond.” He highlighted
NMDC’s commitment to fostering a culture of inclusivity, where diverse perspectives and talents are
valued to drive success.
Dr. C. Manjula Rao emphasized the transformative power of self-confidence and mindset shifts and said,
“Empowerment begins with a shift in mindset. When women embrace confidence and self-worth, they
assert their voices with strength and clarity. We must embolden our self-esteem, and take meaningful
steps toward a more inclusive and balanced society. Every change we make today creates a better world
for the next generation of women tomorrow.”
The event concluded on a high note with an exciting array of games and a rich cultural event, specially
curated for the women employees.
