Ayurvedacharya Dr Balaji Tambe said that the stressful lifestyle has posed various health problems for women and emphasised the need to pay attention to women’s health. “There is need to undertake cleanliness drives in schools to maintain children’s health and women should come forward to lead these drives,” he said.

Dr Tambe expressed his concern over various inhuman incidents like female foeticides and the Delhi gang-rape case. The incidents of threats to the dignity of women had disturbed the entire society and under such circumstances, the Tanishka Women’s Dignity Foundation campaign launched by the Sakal Media Group was very significant, he added.

Dr Tambe suggested that the Tanishka Women’s Dignity Foundation should work for drought relief and management of various remedial measures. The Forum could also work for women’s physical, psychological and health preservation, he said.
