"Traditionally there was a fixed notion about what women can do and cannot do. But thankfully notions was now breaking down. Women are succeeding in almost every field, at times outwitting men", he said and added that the NIE 'Devi Awards' recognize women of distinction in different parts of India and this time it focuses on Telangana. Mr Naidu said that the NDA government's flagship programme 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' (Save the girl child, teach the girl child) initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was bringing good results. Recently a women from this city did India proud at International level by referring to P V Sindhu (in Badminton) who had won the Silver medal for India.
