The Girl Empowerment Commission (GEM) marked a heartwarming milestone with its latest birthday celebration for the GEM girls, an initiative that continues to inspire joy, unity, and self-worth among young participants of the GEM workshop at Kolba.
As part of this beautiful tradition, the GEM Workshop at Kolba conducts birthday events aligned with the quarterly calendar, celebrating all girls born in that quarter. This thoughtful system allows each GEM girl to experience a day of recognition, companionship, and joy with her GEM sisters.
As part of a cherished weekly tradition, GEM girls come together every quarter to celebrate the birthdays of all members born in that quarter.
On May 28, 2025, the GEM workshop hosted a beautiful celebration honoring the girls born in January, February, and March. This thoughtful practice ensures that each girl feels recognized, celebrated, and cherished within her community, regardless of the date on the calendar.
Gracing the occasion were Smt. Roli Khanna, President of Maitri Mahila Samiti, and Vice President Smt. Subhra Ghatak. Their presence added great warmth and significance to the event.
In a joyous display of solidarity and spirit, they danced with the girls and joined in the festivities, culminating in a joyful cake-cutting ceremony. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and the vibrant spirit of empowerment.
A delightful cake-cutting ceremony brought everyone together, symbolizing unity and shared happiness. The occasion was not only about celebration but also served as a reaffirmation of the Commission’s ongoing mission — to foster inclusivity, build self-worth, and ensure every girl feels valued, loved, and empowered.
More than just a birthday party, the celebration embodied the values of inclusivity, sisterhood, and emotional support that the GEM workshop at Kolba stands for.
Through these shared moments, the initiative nurtures a sense of belonging and community, encouraging every GEM girl to embrace her individuality with pride and confidence.
As the music echoed through Korba and laughter filled the air, the GEM birthday celebration stood as a shining example of how small, meaningful gestures can make a lasting impact in the lives of young girls — encouraging them to dream, to shine, and to grow together.
