SMLC-49's Unsung Heroes at Taj Vivanta, Hyderabad

Secunderabad Metropolitan Ladies Circle-49 and Tease by Taj Vivanta honored 10 women of substance who have contributed to and made a difference to society in their chosen field on 29th March. The conception of UNSUNG HEROES happened with the urge in us to give a voice to women who's experiences have gone unnoticed, who's words have gone unheard and who's actions were unseen.

UNSUNG HEROES is truly a celebration of contributions women make in every aspect of life- in the home, on the job ,in the community as mothers ,wives, sisters, daughters ,citizens and leaders. As women, we share a common future and we are here to find a common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls.

Ladies Circle is a non-political and non-sectarian organization made up of the wives of members of Round Table. It offers opportunities for serving the community, for fostering and strengthening friendships between like-minded young women and helps create a better understanding of the obligations one owes to the society. The Ladies Circle 49 started in 1993.

Since then the women have taken on numerous projects to serve the society helping thousands of children.

LC India has adopted "Educate To Enlighten" or "ETE" as its long-term project It is a 6-point programme focusing on the Quality of Education in schools.

Apart from this we conduct various community service events like eye camps, vaccination camps, blanket distribution, building toilet blocks for girl child, donation of sanitary pads, etc. which are small in nature but go a long way in improving the quality of life of the underprivileged.

As a part of our commitment to giving back to society, this year, we at Ladies Circle 49 are looking to acknowledge the contribution of Special Women who have achieved distinction in their chosen area of specialization and have made a significant contribution to humanity at large.
