The ‘Indomitable Women Award 2025’ was conferred on five outstanding women at the divisional level at a ceremony held on Sunday at the auditorium of the Khulna District Shilpakala Academy.
The event was jointly organized by the Divisional Administration and the Department of Women Affairs. Divisional Commissioner Md Mokhtar Ahmed attended the programme as the chief guest.
Addressing the gathering, he said that all women in the country are indomitable in their own ways. “Education is light, and light is ‘Noor’. Today’s successful women are part of that light. The roles of both men and women in society are undeniable,” he said, adding that women often overcome numerous obstacles to achieve success.
He further remarked, “Money or prizes are not the main issue; recognition is what truly matters. The awardees have earned recognition not only for themselves but also for their families and society. Women’s work should be evaluated not as women, but as human beings. Let them move forward in this way.”
The programme was chaired by Additional Divisional Commissioner (Revenue) Sifat Mehnaz. Among the special guests were Additional DIG of Khulna Range Tofayel Ahmed and Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Bitan Kumar Mondal. Additional Divisional Commissioner (Development) Muhammad Asadul Haque delivered the welcome address.
The award-winning women shared their experiences and expressed their feelings at the event. Guardians of the awardees, officials from divisional and district-level offices, representatives of private organizations, and leaders of women’s organizations were also present.
Each recipient was honoured with cash prize, crest, and certificate.
