In a landmark event at Vigyan Bhawan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Delhi CM Rekha Gupta attended the national Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan on Monday. The forum aimed to amplify women’s political participation and reinforce their societal contributions amid widespread acclaim.
BJP parliamentarian Kamaljeet Sehrawat set the tone, describing a nationwide wave of enthusiasm. She hailed the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill as pivotal for women’s rights, bolstered by unanimous political support that paves its path to enactment. ‘This is history in the making, injecting fresh momentum into empowerment efforts,’ Sehrawat proclaimed.
She envisioned societal evolution through this milestone. Meira Kumar, ex-Lok Sabha head, shared her ringside view of the 30-year battle, framing it as a blend of political and social reform. Students stole the show with candid testimonies. One rejoiced at the bill’s promise, vital after prolonged sidelining, particularly impacting rural women excluded from progress. Gratitude flowed to PM Modi.
A peer stressed its essence for women to thrive in diverse fields, underscoring participation’s necessity everywhere. However, another critiqued delays in execution: ‘It’s high time for proper rollout—women’s vast capabilities demand fair shares across domains.’ The conclave crystallized a national resolve, heralding an era of equitable advancement for half the population.
