themselves stylishly on the ramp, on wheelchairs. This was done on not high
decibel music but a meaningful ‘Anthem’.

media interaction with the brave Spinal Injury survivors' was held. Kaushalya
Devi, Vidya Kumari & Seerat, an 8 year old girl were present in the press
meet. Nicky P Kaur - Founder, Chandigarh Spinal Rehab, Hemant Malik - Founder

partner of the event , Diksha Sachdeva - The Urban Biba (Blogger) also took
part in the press meet.

Chandigarh Spinal Rehab for the first time. He heard the survivors' stories
& they touched his heart, it's then that he decided to bring
these stories in front of people. Every year GID Planners celebrates Womanhood
in March, this is our third year and this time we are celebrating with these
women who have always fought with every situation.
According to Mrs. Nicky P Kaur, Founder,

women and urge that they represent India at the same level as any
other international beauty pageant.

Spinal Injury Survivors for their courage.

Survivor shared the story of her life with media. She said that after the
spinal cord injury she was able to resurrect her life due to the love that she received
from her near and dear ones. She gradually developed confidence and realized

more facets to a lady.

squarely.
