Mrs. Vrushali, through an interactive session stressed the need to respect girls as equals and not as beings less equal who had to do all household chores and other similar work without the boys contributing in anyway.

Shreeram Radhakrishnan Memorial Trust was set up around two and half years ago. In this short span the Trust has supported the education of more than a hundred underprivileged students, started a Balwadi in Thane, Carries out TB Awareness Campaign, etc.
As a part of our efforts to educate the underprivileged section of the society Shreeram Radhakrishnan Memorial Trust , Nerul ,in coordination with Street Mukti Sanghatana held a two day residential workshop on premarital Counselling for adolescent girls on the 23rd and 24th of April in the premises of the latter. In all 34 girls participated, all from the underprivileged strata of the society.
In the workshop the topics covered were: 1) Men-Women Equality – Madhavi Desai, senior counsellor Bandra family court . 2) Know your body – Daisy Gangurde, coordination Alert India. 3) Choosing the right partner – Neela Limaye, social activist. 4) Marital adjustment – Suvarna Bhujbal, another senior counsellor at Bandra family court.
Vrushali Magdum, coordinator of Sanghatana said that such workshop will help the girls to come out of the confines of the four walls of their homes and enable then to hold dialogues on various issues with one another which they would be too embarrassed to discuss at homes with their parents.
Lalitha and Radhakrishnan chipped in with motivational talk and urged the girls not to consider themselves any less than boys in any respect. They also appreciated the wonderful oratorical skills of the girls ( in Marathi ) that would put many from the elite class to shame.
Daisy Gangurde, coordination Alert India, spoke of the various changes that take place on the human body during adolescence. She also stressed that women alone are not responsible for the birth of a female child. She also cleared the various myths associated with mensturation.
Neela Limaye, social activist, spoke to the girls about the importance of choosing the right partner, giving great importance to character of the person. Marriage is an institution involving not just the partner but all the family members from both side.
Madhavi Desai, senior counsellor Bandra family court, narrated various court cases and explained them stressing the importance of differentiating between understanding and adjustment. Marital harmony is very important, she said.
Suvarna Bhujbal, another senior counsellor at Bandra family court, explained to the girls the importance of marital adjustment in marriage and the importance of relationship between daughter in law-mother in law or, husband-wife.
