Screening of the film ‘Neerja’

A recent screening of the critically acclaimed film Neerja, which recounts the heroic true story of Neerja Bhanot, was held to celebrate and amplify the indomitable spirit of women. The film, based on the life of the brave air hostess who sacrificed her life to save passengers during a hijacking incident, stands as a powerful testament to courage and selflessness. This screening aimed to inspire and encourage young girls to embrace bravery and pursue their aspirations with unwavering confidence.

Organized by the NSS Club, the event was more than just a movie viewing. It included a thoughtful post-screening discussion where coordinators engaged students in an in-depth conversation about women’s empowerment. The discussion explored the various ways in which women contribute significantly to society and addressed common stereotypes that often hinder their progress. By reflecting on Neerja Bhanot’s legacy, students were encouraged to recognize their own potential and to challenge societal norms that limit opportunities for women.

The screening and subsequent discussion provided a platform for students to reflect on the crucial role of women in shaping a more inclusive and equitable world. The event not only celebrated Neerja Bhanot’s extraordinary bravery but also aimed to instill a sense of empowerment among students, urging them to advocate for gender equality and support one another in their personal and professional journeys.
