NEW DELHI :

A two-day Women’s Conclave titled “Lead Her Ship” was inaugurated at Jamia Hamdard University on Wednesday with the participation of over 200 women representatives and 40 NGOs from across India. The event aims to build the capacity of women-led NGOs, enhance their leadership skills, and provide them with practical guidance on registration, funding, and community engagement.

The conclave, organised in collaboration with Tweet Foundation and the Centre for Training and Development is focused on helping women navigate challenges in running NGOs — from compliance and fundraising to partnership building and social outreach.

The event was inaugurated by Dr. M. Afshar Alam Vice-Chancellor of Jamia Hamdard, who emphasised the importance of empowering women to become effective leaders in social work. Ms. Prachi Kaur, the Chief Guest, and several experts from the development and academic sectors were also present.

Speaking at the inaugural session, Dr. Alam said, “We are organising this conclave for women-led NGOs from all over India to help them understand how to work efficiently — how to apply for funds, register their organisations, and collaborate effectively. The title ‘Lead Her Ship’ beautifully captures the spirit of women leadership — to ensure that their ship sails smoothly and contributes meaningfully to the nation and the world.”

He added that NGOs from all regions — North, South, East, West, and even the Andaman Islands are attending, making the conclave a truly national platform for women leaders.

The sessions across the two days will cover vital topics such as legal compliance, resource mobilisation, data collection, and result-oriented community engagement, Experts will also share success stories of established NGOs to inspire new entrants in the field.

Ms Rahmathunnissa, Chairperson of Tweet Foundation, outlined the core objectives of the conclave, saying, “Our goal is to collaborate, share ideas, and empower women through dialogue, sharing, and caring. The sessions will help participants understand how to legalise their work, comply with regulations, and develop leadership qualities. We also want to train them to identify and mobilise resources effectively.”

He further highlighted the need for NGOs to be financially committed and transparent, ensuring that their assistance helps beneficiaries — particularly women and girls — live with dignity and long-term self-reliance.

The conclave is designed as a forum for mutual learning and networking, where participants can exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, and explore partnerships with both government and non-government agencies. The second day will feature a directory release and special sessions chaired by Dr. Alam, along with presentations from leading NGOs and policymakers.

With its focus on leadership development, capacity building, and sustainable social change, the Women’s Conclave at Jamia Hamdard reflects a growing movement towards recognising women as central drivers of community transformation.

As Dr. Alam aptly summed up, “When women lead her ship, they not only navigate their own path but steer the entire community towards progress.
