Speaking on the occasion Mr. Santosh Mangal, CMD, Institute of Computer and Finance Executives says “After successful completion of our ‘Project Shakti’ programme in the cities of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, now we have started this drive in Rajasthan and the first obvious stop is Jaipur. Feeling of insecurity penetrates into our minds as soon as we start reading and looking at the newspapers and new channels showing us the cruelty of this world, especially towards women. ‘Project Shakti’ is a programme which will train women to defend and fight for themselves from the reprobates who is present at every nook and corner of the country. We hope that through this initiative, Indian women will not be considered as a vulnerable and weak link of society who need people from outside to protect her interests’.
“The need of the hour is that every woman who is stepping out from the four walls of the house should be prepared to defend herself. Use of traditional Karate will empower them to effectively ward off any aggression against them by helping them learn how to deal with situations in crisis and fast track self-defence techniques. Today it’s not about ‘just self defence’ but it’s about ‘must self defence’ ” adds Mr. Rajeev Sinha, President, Traditional Karate Federation of India.
