A detailed discussion was held on the book ''Shatayu Sangh aur Mahila Sahabhagita'' authored by Dr. Shobha Vijendra. Speakers emphasised that as the Sangh completes a historic 100 years, it is essential to acknowledge the immense role women have played in strengthening the organisation's social and cultural values.
