The judges were Sheetal Lakra,Hemant Minj and Babulal Hembrom. Under the topic ‘violence against women’ there were many sub-topics which were indeed well prepared and beautifully delivered. All the 14 participants elaborated the concept from different viewpoints. They highlighted so many aspects through which women are being dehumanized. They mostly highlighted different causes, effects and defects. Overall,they gave us many sources to cultivate good behavior and attitude towards women because they are the motivators, peacemakers and harmonizers. Above all, they are the backbones of our society and without them the existence of the society is not possible.
