New Delhi [India], March 9 (ANI/NewsVoir): A Women's Day panel discussion, comprising of industry leaders, innovators and policy makers was organized by FICCI today. The inaugural address was given by Dr Ajay Kumar, Defence Secretary, Government of India, who acknowledged the role of women in the development of the country. "Whether it is in Defence or in IT sector, women's impact has been very significant. I remember the growth of IT in the country. India becoming world's largest IT outsourcing destination would not have been possible without our women. More than one-third of the workforce in IT has been women. Even in Electronic Manufacturing, something in which I have been closely associated with, the role of women has been even more significant," said Dr Ajay Kumar, appreciating the diverse roles women have played in the development of the technology sector in India.
