Why don’t the male members of the organization make a woman a candidate for the highest position?

The women members have called upon the top entrepreneurs and members of the Chamber from South Gujarat to come forward and take initiative to give leadership to women with liberal thoughts, thus maintaining the credibility of our civilization and culture.

It has always been a practice that the women representatives contesting in the election of the Chamber Executive are deliberately removed from the election. But the way the women’s unit is gearing up this time, and if any face stakes claim for the post of vice president and remains in the field till the last moment, then this time the election of the chamber can take an interesting turn. It has to be seen what the election fever presents in the coming days.
