“Hello. I am Esther Florence, joint winner of the 2020 Shri Pralhad P Chhabria, Best Women Professional Award.
I am thankful to Hope Foundation and IEEE for considering my application and deeming me worthy of the award. The funds received as part of this prestigious award will further my research on automation of looms that can help alleviate the occupational health hazard of weavers. My research would help in the overall upliftment of weavers and work toward reducing the reduction in weaver population that is unique for our country.
Research for betterment of society is something that I truly care about.”
