Speaking to reporters, Telangana Governor Dr Tamilisai, said, "I am thankful to the President for allowing me to hold the post of Telangana Governor, besides the additional charge of Puducherry Governor. Women participants at the meeting are the change makers and they are the members of the Legislative Assembly as well as the Legislative Council. They are attending the meeting with much confidence. I appreciate the efforts of the National Commission for Women, especially Rekha Sharma in organising such a programme. Whatever post we are holding should be more productive. It should be more useful to our people. Besides, we have to improve ourselves every day whether it is in technology or seeking additional information. Organising these types of workshops will sharpen women legislators' skills."
