Women should pursue ‘career with character’: Rashtra Sevika Samiti chief

 New Delhi, Women should pursue a “career with character”, bringing sincerity, ethical values and a sense of responsibility to the workplace, said Rashtra Sevika Samiti chief V Shantha Kumari.. Women should pursue ‘career with character’: Rashtra Sevika Samiti chief. In an interview with PTI, Kumari also spoke about the organisation’s perspective on feminism, stating that the Indian approach to feminism emphasises developing one’s own qualities and character rather than competing with men.. Rashtra Sevika Samiti, founded in 1936, functions as a women’s organisation parallel to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for men.. Kumari said women can contribute to the nation’s development alongside men in different fields.. “Women can choose any career, but it should be a career with character,” she said, explaining that work should be done with sincerity and without corruption..

Kumari said women can manage both family responsibilities and professional work.. “A woman has the capability to manage the family and work outside, and therefore can contribute significantly to the welfare of society and the nation,” she said..

Kumari said government programmes to support women’s livelihoods are positive steps, but their effective implementation is crucial.. “What the government is doing is good.
