Women are equal to men in all fields. Women should be aware of their rights, said MLC Veena Achaiah.

Speaking during the Women’s Day programme organised by Kodagu district Mahila Congress wing at Congress office on Sunday, she said, “Owing to lack of education, several women fail to avail their rights.”

Women have made their presence felt in all walks of life now and have been winning at national and international forums. Women should achieve success in life. They should not have an inferiority complex and make use of the opportunities to excel in life.
