Education is one of the most important tools for empowering a society. Apart from supporting individuals’ in their growth journey, education plays the role of a catalyst in enhancing one’s personality while also strengthening their economic, social, cultural development. Education also plays a key role in improving one’s quality of life and has a strong impact on the overall family and community’s living standards as well. Education on the whole is capable of reducing societal inequalities, especially ones stemming through gender.

The field of education has always been considered to be conducive for women professionals. For years women educators have been carrying the baton to educate and carve future citizens and leader of their respective nations. Be it handholding young toddlers who have just gotten into the education system to leading higher educational institutes, women educators have always been influential in the field of education.

Her initial motivation was educating her children, but she soon devoted herself to reengineering Epistemo as a progressive school where academic pressure is matched with emotional quotient.

The illustrious list also features A. Lakshmi Dharithri, Principal of Surya The Global School, a visionary education leader with over two decades of experience in teaching, teacher training, school operations, and strategic management.
