In every society, progress is shaped quietly by women who lead with courage, compassion and conviction. Often working beyond recognition, their contributions transform lives, strengthen communities, and inspire generations. At Bhaishree Foundation, we believe these stories deserve to be heard and celebrated with the respect they command.

Virangana was born from this belief. It is an annual initiative that lauds women from all walks of life for their exemplary contributions to society. Observed on Women’s Day, Virangana is not merely a ceremony, it is a platform of gratitude, acknowledgement, and inspiration, where real-life role models are placed at the heart of the celebration.

Each year, Bhaishree Foundation honours women who have made a significant impact in their respective fields, whether through social service, resilience, leadership, or selfless dedication. The ceremony has recognised inspiring women such as Kumari Lakshmi Agrawal, Kumari Prema Jayakumar, Smt Latabai Kare, and the late Sindhutai Sapkal - women whose journeys stand as powerful reminders of strength with purpose.

For the awardees, Virangana is a moment of recognition earned through years of quiet resolve. For the audience, it is a reminder of what true courage looks like. And for the community, it is a celebration of womanhood that uplifts, empowers, and inspires. Virangana is not about applause, it is about honouring impact and saluting women who change the world simply by being relentlessly themselves.
