Acting Permanent Secretary for Civil Service, Parmesh Chand

The Ministry of Civil Service has sent out a circular to all Ministries, departments, and agencies encouraging them to organise relevant activities and events to recognise the significant contribution of women in all aspects of life and society as they look forward to the upcoming International Women’s Day tomorrow.

The Ministry will join the celebrations to mark this auspicious Day throughout the Civil Service.

Acting Permanent Secretary for Civil Service, Parmesh Chand, says that the Coalition Government recognises women are an integral part of society and more must be done to empower our women.

He says in this regard, the Ministry of Civil Service is also awarding online scholarships (one for each Ministry) for the Women and Leadership Course to recognise the contributions made by women in the Civil Service.

He further says each Ministry will draw a name from a pool of staff on International Women’s Day and send in their nominations.
