Upasana Kamineni Konidela proposes initiative to help 10,000 others return to work

Mumbai, Nov 13 (UNI) Upasana Kamineni Konidela has put forward a plan to help 10,000 mothers return to the workforce through a proposed initiative, ‘Andhra Second Career’.
Speaking at the CII Andhra Summit, Konidela said that women's dreams and careers should be given equal importance as motherhood. No woman should be forced to give up her career after becoming a mother. To achieve this, women should be provided with training in new skills, flexible working hours, and childcare facilities.
She said that India educates its daughters and helps them achieve their dreams, but once they become mothers, their potential and skills are not fully utilised. This is not only a loss to women but also to the country's economy.
The initiative aims to make Andhra Pradesh the most supportive state in the country for working mothers, where women can get the necessary support from family, society and the workplace.
Citing Dr Pratap C. Reddy's vision of "Atmarakshanam", Konidela said it's crucial to advance the idea of providing quality healthcare to everyone. Upasana Kamineni Konidela and Nara Lokesh are working to advance this vision and make Andhra Pradesh a leading hub for the production of skilled healthcare professionals. UNI NST SS
