- Seeing the discrimination against girls in college, he decided to raise his voice against it
- Sudha Murthy has built 16,000 public toilets and 2,300 houses for flood victims

First of all, seeing the notice board in the college, I realized the inequality of women. This special day is dedicated to women. Find out Sudha Murthy's ideas from Daily Newsbust India. Life got a U-turn with the announcement to stop working on the notice board in the college lodge and reach out to Tata in favor of women.
Born on 19 August August 1950 in Shigaon, North Karnataka, Sudha's struggle was not limited to proving herself in education, but lasted long after marriage. In addition to being the chairman of Infosys, he is also a writer and a well-known social activist.
The popularity of his books can be gauged from the fact that they have been translated into 15 languages. Sudha dreams of having a library for children in every school. To make this dream come true, he has built 70,000 libraries in various schools across the country through a public charitable trust.
He has built 16,000 public toilets and 2,300 houses for flood victims. Sudha Murthy, who advocates for the equality of women, shows women how to move forward with full confidence.
In her own words, she described a special conversation with Newsbust India on Women's Equality Day. Learn the main parts of this conversation:
In my college days, I faced discrimination against women. Those were the days when I was pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Science (Tata Institute) in Bangalore.
It was April 1974 when I was the only postgraduate girl living in a ladies' hostel. After graduating in computer science, I received a scholarship from an American university. In those days I never thought of getting a job in India.
One day, I saw a notice board on the shore. It was a job advertisement for the famous automobile company Telco (Tata Motors). It makes it clear that the company needs young and diligent engineers.
The following line of instruction reads - 'Women candidates should not apply to this company'. I was very sad to read this notice. This was the first experience of my life when I saw inequality in women and decided to speak out against it.
After reading this notice, I wrote a letter to the Tata Chairman on a postcard and told him that even a reputed company like Telco has gender inequality. I forgot to post this letter. But, less than 10 days later, I received a telegram stating that I had been called for an interview with Telco's Poona company.
He also said that the cost of my transportation would be borne by the same company. After a long interview, I became the first woman to work on the floor of a telco shop. This is just one example of a woman like me proving herself. But even today if we talk about the equality of women in our society, there are many things that only women can do, such as giving birth to a child.
They can handle household chores properly instead of men. Similarly, only men can do some work, it is difficult for women to do it. But, intellectually both have the same potential. In this situation, we cannot say less to each other.
If we talk about women's equality then why should we try to promote it on 26th August? By celebrating Women’s Equality Day one day a year, women will not achieve the status of men’s equality.
Achieving equality for women is more important than gaining respect in their eyes. For this, they have to work hard and move forward. They can achieve equal status in society and by studying with men.
Women will not get due respect in society unless they prove themselves with full confidence through their good deeds. An excellent example of this is Kiran Bedi, several women army officers and women pilots.
A good education gives good education to women. No matter how difficult the situation is with you, complete your study in any case. A good education will help give a new direction to both your career and life.
Speaking of today's era, I consider Kovid-19 to be the third world war. In this age, women need to help each other instead of competing with men and proving themselves the best. With this spirit this time can be spent properly.
After all, if I talk to people from whom I have learned life lessons, it is JRD Tata. I consider her my role model. I learned many qualities like generosity, compassion for my staff and working with ease. Even after their eyes left this world, I saw them from the sky every day.
