Mrs. Nivedita Nirvikar, currently the only designated female lawyer at the Patna High Court, inspired young lady lawyers present, encouraging them to appear before the Courts with confidence. Emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation and firmness in arguments, she provided valuable guidance.

The event also marked the commencement of a campaign on "Mahila Adhikaro Ka Kare Samajhdari Se Upyog, Durupyog Se Karein Inskaar."
