“Don’t think about making women fit the world - think about making the world fit women.”

International Women's Day 2025: The government has launched a number of schemes in the last few years to ensure women get their fair share in society. 2025 International Women's Day: This year it will be celebrated under the theme, 'Accelerate Action'.

On International Women’s Day 2025 we celebrate the potential of women and girls to transform our economies and societies. When women and girls have the chance to fully contribute their talents, they create jobs, drive innovation, and fuel economic growth. Ensuring more and better jobs for women is ensuring a more prosperous world for all.

We share stories of entrepreneurs, community members, caregivers, students -- women -- all overcoming barriers to advance their businesses, livelihoods, and communities. 

 

Women's Day 2025: International Women's Day is celebrated every year on March 8 to honour the achievements of the fairer sex and raise awareness about gender equality. This year, the theme of International Women's day 2025 is, 'Accelerate Action', which is a worldwide call to acknowledge strategies, resources, and activities that positively impact women's advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation.

At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity, according to data from the World Economic Forum.

Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action emphasizes the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It calls for increased momentum and urgency in addressing the systemic barriers and biases that women face, both in personal and professional spheres.

So, together, let's Accelerate Action to speed up the rate of progress worldwide.

One of the best ways to forge gender equality is to understand what works and to do more of this, faster. 

Accelerate Action is a worldwide call to acknowledge strategies, resources, and activity that positively impact women's advancement, and to support and elevate their implementation.

Significant barriers to gender equality remain, yet with the right action and support, positive progress can be made for women everywhere.

And one of the biggest ways to help Accelerate Action for gender equality is to Support the Supporters. 

With so many impactful groups across the world delivering critical work that assists women and girls, we can all lend our support in solidarity.

SHIVAJI JAYANTI

 

Shivaji Jayanti, also known as Shiv Jayanti and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, is a grand celebration that honors the birth of the great Maratha warrior, Shivaji Maharaj.

From cultural programs to parades, the festival is a feast for the senses and a great chance to immerse yourself in the rich tradition and legacy of Maharashtra!

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ignited the fight for Swaraj (self-rule) and earned the title of ‘guerrilla warfare pioneer.’ Known for building forts, he established a kingdom renowned for religious tolerance in a divided land. His powerful navy secured his maritime frontiers, challenging foreign dominance. Celebrated on his birth anniversary every year, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti celebrates his enduring legacy.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti is celebrated to honour the brave and inspiring deeds of Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji’s mother, Jijabai, and mentor, Dadaji Kondadeva, played crucial roles in shaping his character. They taught him values like bravery and fairness from a young age.

As Shivaji grew up, he showed great military skills and clever strategies. He fought against the Mughal and Adil Shahi rulers who oppressed his people. His courage and leadership made him a hero among the people. The idea of celebrating his birth anniversary came about to honour his memory and recognise his impact on history. Over time, it became a national celebration, reminding everyone of the importance of bravery and resilience.

​​The commemoration of the birth anniversary of Shivaji Maharaj was initiated by the Mahatma Phule in 1870. The first Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti was celebrated in Pune, marking the beginning of this tradition.

As per the Gregorian calendar, the widely accepted date of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s birth is February 19, 1630. However, it’s important to note that many Hindus celebrate Shiv Jayanti according to the Hindu calendar, which might correspond to a different date each year. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, according to the Hindu calendar, varies each year as it is based on the lunar cycle.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti date holds immense significance as it marks the beginning of Shivaji’s remarkable journey. It symbolises courage, leadership, and resilience, inspiring generations with his exemplary life and deeds.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s vision extended far beyond merely resisting external oppression; he aspired to establish a sovereign Maratha Empire that would safeguard the interests and aspirations of his people. Despite facing formidable adversaries, including the mighty Mughal Empire, Shivaji embarked on a relentless campaign of conquest and consolidation, laying the foundations of what would become one of the most powerful empires in Indian history.

Shivaji’s influence on naval warfare transcended borders, as evidenced by his collaboration with figures like Kanhoji Angre. Angre, inspired by Shivaji’s naval exploits, emerged as a prominent naval commander and played a pivotal role in defending India’s coastline against foreign threats. The legacy of Shivaji Maharaj continues to inspire generations of naval officers, and his name lives on through Indian Naval Ships, including those named in honour of his contributions to maritime defence.
