Peace and social progress require the
active participation and equality of women, and to acknowledge the contribution
of women to international peace and security a day is exclusively dedicated to
the celebration of the world’s women.
International Women's
Day is celebrated in Orchids very cheerfully. During the special assembly
students spoke about the significance of Women’s Day and a song ‘Power of
women’ was sung by a group of teachers marking the significant day. The
strength and power of women cannot be underestimated. If women are empowered
the society and a nation are empowered.
Principal of Orchids,
Mrs. Mona Mehdi introduced the Chief Guest of the day, Mrs. Smita Dugar to the
participants. The day was made more significant by Smita, recognized
internationally for her culinary skills. She is a Global Indian who believes
that there are no boundaries when it comes to food. Smita loved the whole
experience of ‘Masterchef India’ and her winning dish ‘Desi Videshi Platter’
was an instant hit. Cooking for HRH Maharaja Arvind Singhji of Mewar and
winning the challenge in City Palace, Udaipur was her major high.
Orchids was honoured
on having Mrs. Smita as the judge of the culinary products of the parent and
teacher participants, who geared up all their skills to participate in the
contest arranged on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Various appetizing
cuisines of the enthusiastic contestants, neatly arranged, enticed the taste
buds of the viewers. The aroma of the sweets and savouries filled the air and
the delicious delicacies made a delightful scene.
Mrs. Smita tested the
flavour of all the luscious items to decide the prize-winning dishes. As she
asserted cooking is done out of love and love can help us to master the art.
