On International Women’s Day, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lit up social media with powerful tributes to women’s indispensable role in societal strength. Greeting ‘matrushakti’ and citizens, he underscored the double-engine government’s dedication to protecting and empowering women.
‘Warm greetings on Women’s Day. Maternal power’s honor, safety, and independence build a mighty nation,’ Yogi posted on X. ‘Women’s involvement in every field is reshaping society with fresh vigor. Commit to their empowerment.’
Reflecting on progress, he noted pre-2017 fears for daughters’ safety have vanished. ‘Night shifts are now routine for women, powered by Mission Shakti and Anti-Romeo drives that deter crimes effectively.’
Spotlighting welfare initiatives, Yogi praised Kanya Sumangala for cradle-to-classroom aid, collective marriage schemes for respectful unions, nutritional programs for mothers, and enhanced pensions. ‘Dropout rates plummeted, maternal and child deaths hit historic lows, equal chances abound from studies to jobs.’
The CM hailed entrepreneurial strides: self-help groups everywhere, 40,000 BC Sakhis managing massive finances, and roles like Lakhpati Didi, Drone Didi transforming homes and economy alike.
Invoking tradition, ‘Janani Janmabhoomischa Svargadapi Gariyasi’—mother and homeland surpass paradise. ‘UP’s daughters, shun fear, embrace grand visions. Schemes propel you forward. Lead Uttar Pradesh to development glory.’ Heartfelt Women’s Day wishes capped his inspiring address.
