Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Amit Gainda, Managing Director and CEO, of Avanse Financial Services, said, “To celebrate International Women’s Day and to salute the power of womanhood, we have designed this special offer for female aspirants so that they can pursue their higher education independently. We strongly believe in one of the famous sayings that if you educate a man, you educate an individual. But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. Educating women results in empowered families, stronger societies, a knowledgeable economy, and, ultimately, a prosperous nation.”
