More than a hundred media women from across India gathered at the twin campuses of the Aryabhatta Knowledge University and Chanakya National Law University in the institutional area of Patna on a wintry morning in January 2023. The excitement was palpable at the first in-person meeting after February 2020 and the subsequent lockdown and restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a time to renew old ties and meet new members, learning from each other and building new bonds.
