During his speech, Venkataramani stressed that the legal field is not just about contracts and rules but affects every aspect of life. He highlighted the need for progress in the legal system to ensure equality and fairness for all.
“Law, like science, must evolve. It is no longer just about contracts and code but governs every aspect of life. Our goal must not be just success in careers but to create an inclusive, just and equitable society,” he stated.
He further pointed out that more participation of women in shaping legal policies would make the justice system more progressive. He called for redefining the long-standing barriers that limit women’s growth in the legal profession.
“True success in law must not be measured by individual achievements alone, but by our ability to create a fair and humane society. Our responsibility is clear — to support, uplift, and celebrate the remarkable women shaping the legal profession and beyond,”
Venkataramani said.
Additional Solicitor General Archana Pathak Dave also spoke at the event, emphasizing that Women’s Day should not be restricted to just one day but should be a continuous effort.
“Women’s Day is not just about March 8; it is a commitment we must uphold every day. The fight for equality continues, and we must honour the extraordinary contributions of the women who shaped our history,” she said.
She also mentioned the significant role of women in drafting the Indian Constitution. Unlike many countries where constitutional processes were dominated by men, India’s Constituent Assembly included 15 pioneering women who played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s fundamental laws.
