In the past three decades of its existence, WIPS has emerged as a single unified group of professional women in the organized sector. The forum has taken efforts to enhance professionalism and competence of the women in Public Sector Enterprises.

Women bring a fresh approach to problem-solving and decision-making, often prioritizing collaboration, empathy, and long-term thinking. Their involvement in diverse sectors such as technology, entrepreneurship, finance, and policy-making is breaking barriers and challenging traditional norms. By empowering women economically and socially, societies can unlock their full potential, leading to increased productivity, innovation and resilient communities. As leaders, innovators and change-makers, women are at the forefront of driving positive social, economic and environmental transformations. Their active participation in sustainable development initiatives, conservation efforts and advocacy for social justice helps create a more balanced and equitable world hence the theme chosen is Women : The Future of Sustainable Growth.

It is time for each of us to take action in our personal and our professional lives for sustainable growth in all spheres of life.

I compliment Southern Region for hosting the 34th National Meet of the Forum Of WIPS at Bangalore. The contribution and support provided by managements of CPSUs & SCOPE and the determination and commitments by the women themselves have been largely responsible for the achievements of WIPS. My sincere thanks to Apex Functional Committee, Regional Executive Body members of all the regions, Coordinators, Unit representatives and all the life members of WIPS for taking this forum forward.

Thanks to all who have directly or indirectly supported the event.

Best wishes to all for continued success.

EX PRESIDENT (2021 - 2023)

It is with great humility and excitement that I take over as the President of this reputed forum.

It goes without saying that these are challenging times. We are wrestling with the daily concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as ongoing challenges for women throughout our nation. The social, emotional and economic ramification of this crisis is undoubtedly taking their toll on our community and every single WIPS member. Though elected as new President, I am not a newcomer to this Forum, and hence, I can place on record that the resilience of the WIPS team, in the face of all these challenges has been striking.

In the future I will use this section, to share my thoughts and lay out strategies for moving forward; however, today I just wanted to use this space to say, “thank you.” Thank you for supporting one another.

We vibrant, dedicated and resilient WIPS members are fortunate to be a part of SCOPE, which strives to become more inspiring, innovative and impactful, and I have no doubt that we will get through this and build an even more prosperous future for all.
Let’s get to work Together and move forward.

You have come a long way since you created the Forum of Women in Public Sector 26 years ago for exchanging information, acquiring new knowledge, sharing experiences, increasing confidence and building networks. Your contribution to the Indian public sector is now well recognised. The success of the objectives of the forum will largely be dictated by your ability to create a system of outreach to all.

Technology developments have contributed enormously to managing speed, information and responses to changing market dynamics . Upgrading the WIPS Website with new features and functionalities will help you to enhance your reach. I would like to compliment all those who have been associated with this effort. Keep it up.

The Forum in the past years has remained dynamic helping the women employees of PSUs to meet the challenges of globalisation, competition and privatisation.
The forum should continue to remain agile and dynamic so that it effectively contributes to organisational and national goals.

The Forum for women in Public Sector has grown from strength to strength . As a Network ,it has played a critical role in creating awareness & disseminating information about women's issues in the public sector. Networks succeed when they are not just functional but beneficial to all members . The challenge for the Forum , now, is to remain relevant to the changing times.

It is heartening to know that WIPS continues to enlarge its nation wide network with addition of more PSUs. Women contribute a significant and meaningful role in the growth of the public sector .It is imperative that management of public enterprises recognise and tap their fullest potential by giving them the opportunities to scale the leadership ladder with challenging assignments .
I congratulate WIPs for enhancing its visibility and access through its website for greater networking with a global community of empowered women who have similar goals and objectives as ours.

With all best wishes

At the outset I would like to congratulate Ms Kirti Tiwari and her new team and wish them all success in their tenure.

The main strength of WIPS is its large network of women spanning across all PSU's. To be relevant in these times is to embrace technology with all its attendant features. Communication channels have been thrown open through social media and we find ourselves reconnecting to school friends, college pals and even family members spread across the globe.

Upgrading the website would in a large measure bring the WIPS network closer and be a vibrant platform. A two way communication would enhance the bonds and reach out to all the women spread in all corners of the country.

Wishing WIPS all success.
