On International Women’s Day, Lokmat Sakhi Manch, Latur, honored Anjali Masalkar, a grassroots woman leader from Swayam Shikshan Prayog, as one of the Lokmat Women Achievers of Latur-2024, recognizing her remarkable journey in agricultural leadership.
The achievements of women in Latur 2024 are featured in a coffee table book published by Lokmat Sakhi Manch during this event. An award ceremony was held at Carnival Resort in Latur on March 8, 2024. This Coffee Table Book will inspire future endeavors of diligent women and record their efforts, facilitating the growth of accomplished women leaders.
Anjali has been associated with SSP for a decade, igniting leadership and momentum in her work.
