In continuation, Dr. N. U. Khan introduced their team which comprised of 11 girls, 11 boys and 11 faculty members of Jamia Milia Islamia.

Musarrat Ali, Faculty from J.M.I.U volunteered from the audience and along with his team of cyclists presented a theme song “O ri Chidaiya” which symbolized that women power is more than any other source of power in the world.  A woman has the ability to work like Goddess Durga and is as calm as Goddess Saraswati. Followed by this were the students : Sayema Zafar, Mubasheer Abbas and Heeba Neyaz who expressed their views by reciting poems on Naari Ka Samman, Pita ka Pyaar, and a speech on Changing Era of Women’s Life. The atmosphere was filled with energy and enthusiasm after the presentations by the students.
