In her inaugural speech, President Dipali De added one line to the "phrase"- ৩৬৫ দিনই আমারই ( 365 days are for Women,not a Single Day) and said that in her opinion the words "(W)isdom, (O)ptimism, (M)orality, (A)countability, (N)obility comprise a WOMAN.
Of other speakers some mentioned the Multi- tasking side of a woman, some shared how the discrimination and suppression in family made them tough, some shared their experience on the way to become self- dependent.
Member SUKLA MAJHI's sincere effort to make the "Srijani- the household products selling department", a profitable one was appreciated with a token gift.

An Awareness Programme- "Wellness - Feel Great, Look Great" was arranged with "ORIFLAME" on 24th March.

And as members of AIWC, "The Proudest Day " of the eventful month was 23rd. March when our President DIPALI DEY was felicitated as an "Eminent Social Worker of the Locality" by "Brahmakamal Institute of Dance and Drawing".

Experienced something heart-warming - felt to share! On 19th February, on behalf of AIWC North Suburban Constituent Branch, TalaPark, three of us went to visit a Creche for under privileged children run by AIWC Park Circus Constituent Branch. The members of the Branch, mostly 70+ (The scenario is the same in our Branch, young ladies being too busy with their professional and domestic responsibilities) are taking care of some 20+ children by arranging basic education and one full meal with the meagre resources available! BIG SALUTATION !
We tried to stand by their side by providing some ration along with toys and board games for their entertainment ! Wishing All Associated with AIWC, Park Circus Constituent Branch all the Best and Success in Their Venture!- Bhaswati Paul, Harvinder Kaur, Baby Shaw.

"নেতাজির দৃষ্টিতে বিবেকানন্দ",- A tribute to the two great souls, was presented by the "Cultural Group" of AIWC North Suburban Constituent Branch, TalaPark on 10th.February, 2025 at "Sarala Bhaban".

Our Humble Tribute to Two "Great Souls" 🙏

On behalf of all associated with AIWC, North Suburban Constituent Branch, Talapark with heavy heart
giving the sad news of sudden demise of Dipika Guin, the oldest member and "Craft Trainer" of the Branch on 19th November.
She was associated with this Branch of AIWC since 1969 and over the years trained many women and made them self-dependent.
Her diploma certificates and samples of her handicrafts impressed AIWC'S Ex-President Rakesh Dhawan ji, Manju Kak ji ( the then Honarary Treasurer), Shikha Mitra Di (the then Vice- President) very much and they advised us to take "UDAAN" programme for sewing and embroidery.
Because of her nature she was loved by everyone. Every year her students and members of the branch used to felicitate her on "Teacher's Day"!
On 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence she raised the National Flag in the Branch Premises.
None of us could believe that she is no more because just the day before she left the mortal world she received the "Sewing Machine" donated by the Rotary Club, on behalf of the "Craft Section" of the Branch. Along with her innumerable students we all will miss our "Didi".

Like every year, on 15th August, 2024, the members of AIWC North Suburban Constituent Branch, Talapark hoisted the National Flag in the Office Premises along with Octagenarian Craft Teacher and the Office Bearer. But there was no celebration for the completion of 77 years of Independence of our Country, as the shocking, terrible incident happened with a brilliant lady doctor in the hospital premises on 9th August, forced us to think twice, "Are we, the women of this country really "Free Citizens of an Independent Country? "
Ms. Dipali Dey, Honorary President of the Branch wrote an article in this respect which was read to the members by Secretary, Bhaswati Paul on Independence Day.
According to Ms. Dey, 15th August is just a "Date". Significance of Independence is much deeper and when the context of "freedom of women" arises, through eras and ages the belief persists that it's an unachievable rare commodity. But this shackle can be broken only by Women themselves. But they have to be cautious not to be wayward, imperious. To earn the status of "first class citizen" they have to be self-conscious, self-confident, self- reliant but at the same time humane.
As members of prestigious "ALL INDIA WOMEN'S CONFERENCE" we can recall our past and remeber how the speech of Mr. E.F. Often given in 1926 in the Prize giving ceremony of Bethune College where he addressed women, "who alone can help adequately to remedy what is wrong in women's education" and called them to "TELL US WITH ONE VOICE WHAT THEY WANT ANDKEEP ON TELLING US TILL THEY GET IT"- influenced Margater Cousin and initiated the formation of AIWC.
Following foot steps of our predecessors today we should take oath to work relentlessly until the goal is achieved.
At the same time we will definitely protest peacefully but strongly against any injustice, atrocity especially against women and children.
On midnight, 14th. August,2024 a no. of our members joined the "Rally for Justice" in Kolkata with the moral support of the rest of their co-workers of the Branch.

The "ANANDA-MELA", the Annual Handicraft Exhibition organised by AIWC North Suburban Constituent Branch, Talapark is going to be held from 31st August, 2024 to 2nd September, 2024 at "Sarala-Bhaban", the office premises of the Branch.
Inviting All to come and encourage the no. of self-employed women participating in the Event.
