Hyderabad, March 8

Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer and Chief Ministers of Telugu states on Sunday greeted women on the occasion of International Women's Day.

Nazeer conveyed his wishes to the women of Andhra Pradesh on the occasion of International Women's Day.

"Women in our country have always played a great role in our freedom movement and upholding national integrity, peace and harmony. The International Women's Day is celebrated to highlight women's achievements in society, politics, and the world economy and to raise awareness about their right to equality, justice and dignity. In our society, women play an undisputed leadership role in the family tradition and in the Nation building," he said.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu conveyed his best wishes to the women and mothers of Telugu households.

The women's empowerment movement, which began with granting equal property rights to girls, continues today in a way that transforms women into entrepreneurs. With women's advancement as the goal, the coalition government is implementing programs such as "Talliki Vandanam," free RTC bus travel under "Stree Shakti," the "Deepam-2" free gas cylinder scheme, and NTR Bharosa widow pension.

"Through the Mega DSC, we have provided teacher jobs to 7,955 women and constable jobs to 993 women. We are implementing gratuity for Anganwadi workers and ASHA workers. We have set the goal of making five lakh women entrepreneurs and so far, we have made one lakh women as micro, MSME entrepreneurs," he said.

"Giving priority to women's health security, we in collaboration with the Central government have launched a free vaccine program to protect women from cervical cancer. We are implementing all necessary programs for women's advancement, safety, dignity, and freedom. Seeking your cooperation and partnership to achieve even more successes in women's empowerment - best wishes on Women's Day," CM Naidu added.

Extending his heartfelt greetings to all women, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy stated that said "Naari Shakti is the strength and soul of our society and appreciated the strength, patience, love and sacrifice of women".

He said that the state government remains committed to implementing several welfare and development programmes for the empowerment of women.

The free bus travel for women in Andhra is a game-changer! My mother and sister use it daily. It's not just about saving money, it's about mobility and independence. More such practical schemes, please. 🙏

As someone working in women's health NGOs in India, the free cervical cancer vaccine initiative mentioned by CM Naidu is crucial. Prevention is key. Hoping other states follow this lead. The focus on health security is a welcome step beyond symbolic gestures.

Respectful greetings are fine, but Governor S. Abdul Nazeer's words ring true. From Rani Lakshmibai to our mothers today, women are the backbone. The real test is ensuring the 1 lakh women entrepreneurs become 10 lakhs. Execution matters more than announcements.

Happy Women's Day to all my sisters! 😊 It's heartening to see both Telugu CMs speak on empowerment. The widow pension and support for Anganwadi workers are vital for rural women's dignity. Let's also celebrate the everyday 'Naari Shakti' in our homes and communities.

Providing thousands of jobs for women as teachers and constables is a solid, measurable achievement. This creates role models and economic stability. Hope the momentum continues beyond March 8th. A good step in the right direction for the Telugu states.
