Prime Minister Narendra Modi today highlighted the transformative role played by women in the journey towards a developed India, underlining the government’s focus on women-led development over the past 11 years. As the NDA government at the Centre completes 11 years in office, Mr Modi reaffirmed that in all sectors, including science, education, sports, StartUps, and the armed forces, women are excelling and inspiring several people.
In a social media post, the Prime Minister noted that the NDA Government has redefined women-led development through a series of impactful initiatives. These include ensuring dignity through the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, and empowerment at the grassroots level. He cited Ujjwala Yojana as a milestone that brought smoke-free kitchens to several homes.
Mr Modi also highlighted how MUDRA loans have enabled lakhs of women to become entrepreneurs and pursue their dreams independently. He also underlined how the provision of houses in women’s names under the PM Awas Yojana has made a remarkable impact on their sense of security and empowerment. The Prime Minister also recalled the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign, which he described as a national movement to protect the girl child.
