“I have always believed in giving back to society. This award is, thus, an encouragement for me to push myself to continue working for the community with the knowledge I possess and is definitely a landmark recognition in my career, said Dr Hrishikesh Pai after receiving the award.
It is an honour to receive the Woman Empowerment Award from IMA. As someone who believes that women can achieve what they dream of, I believe this award will be an encouragement to many other such women who wish to work for the betterment of the society through their field of work,” said Dr Rishma Dhillon Pai.
