Reflecting on the honour, Ms. Bagai expressed her gratitude, saying “Behind every great man is a great mother. Receiving the Jijabai Achiever’s Award is truly humbling. It reaffirms my commitment to empowering women and advocating for their rights. Women should have the freedom to make their own choices, and it’s essential for men to support and respect these choices. Through mentorship, I strive to empower cancer survivors, mothers, and young girls to pursue their dreams and overcome obstacles.”
