Women should realise their potential: Commissioner C V Anand

Hyderabad: City police commissioner C V Anand said here on Saturday that women alone can realise their potential and they should seize the day.

“Women have to realize that no one is going to give you. You must go and get it,” the police commissioner said while attending the annual general session and Change of Guard of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry The FICCI’s ladies’ organization and Young FICCI ladies’ organization.

“I have always encouraged my wife to pursue her dreams, studies, go out, help others,” he said.

“When I came to know that there has never been a woman SHO (station house officer), I promptly appointed one in Lalaguda police station. She has outperformed her male counterparts in the last year,” C V Anand said.

Anand suggested women should actively take part and be encouraged to become entrepreneurs, including the rural areas.
