Speaking on the occasion, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan praised the passing of Women's Reservation Bill, also known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam which is aimed at granting reservation to women on one-third seats in Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.

She also said that women should be given proper representation in every field. People criticised my appointment as the Governor of Telangana but despite coming from a medical background, I have administered the young state very well, Soundararajan added.
