"Making new efforts to integrate women into mainstream": UP Women's panel chief hails PM Modi

UP State Women's Commission Chairperson Babita Chauhan expresses gratitude to PM Modi for efforts to integrate women into the mainstream via the Women's Reservation Bill.

"Every day, he is making a new effort to integrate women into the mainstream... - Babita Chauhan"

Lucknow, April 10

Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission Chairperson Babita Chauhan on Thursday expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Women's Reservation Bill.

She also highlighted PM Modi's efforts to bring more women into the mainstream.

Chauhan told ANI, "I express my deepest gratitude to the Prime Minister on behalf of all women. Every day, he is making a new effort to integrate women into the mainstream..."

BJP MP Jagdambika Pal Singh on Thursday said the Women's Reservation Bill marks a "historic shift" towards enhancing women's participation in governance and nation-building.

He also recalled Prime Minister Narendra Modi's committment towards women empowerment.

"Undoubtedly, this marks a historic shift--a transformation that will not merely serve to empower women, but will also ensure that the 50% of the country's population comprised of women secures a 33% share in participation across all spheres... When Prime Minister Narendra Modi first assumed office, he spoke passionately about women empowerment... This bill will provide the country's female population, constituting half of its total citizenry, with the opportunity to contribute towards Prime Minister Modi's resolve to transform India into a 'Viksit Bharat'," Singh told reporters here on Thursday.

A special session has been convened to deliberate on the Women's Reservation Bill, marking a significant step towards enhancing women's representation in legislative bodies. The move underscores the government's intent to prioritise gender equality and ensure greater political participation of women in decision-making processes.

Ahead of the parliamentary move, the Bharatiya Janata Party has intensified its nationwide outreach campaign through initiatives such as "Mahila Samvad." The programme is designed to directly engage with women across urban and rural areas, spreading awareness about the provisions of the Act and gathering feedback from the ground.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also written on the Women's Reservation Bill, describing it as a historic step towards strengthening women's empowerment and ensuring greater participation of women in the country's democratic framework.

In his remarks, the Prime Minister emphasised that the Bill reflects the government's commitment to "Nari Shakti" and aims to provide women with a stronger voice in policymaking. He noted that increased representation of women in legislatures would lead to more inclusive and balanced governance.

Good move, but implementation is key. We've seen similar promises before. The real test will be if this leads to more women from diverse backgrounds—not just political families—getting tickets and winning elections. Let's see action, not just words.

As someone who has worked in gender advocacy here, this is monumental. The 'Mahila Samvad' outreach is crucial. Empowering women politically can have a ripple effect on education, health, and economic policies. A historic day indeed.

Finally! My mother and sister have been talking about this for years. Women are half the population, they should have a fair say in how the country is run. Hope this leads to more balanced and sensitive policymaking. Jai Hind!

Respectfully, while the intent is good, the timing feels political. This bill has been pending for decades. The credit should go to the sustained efforts of countless women's rights activists over the years, not just to one government or leader.

As a teacher in a small town, I see brilliant girls every day. This bill gives them a new dream to aspire to – that they can one day be in Parliament. 'Nari Shakti' is not just a slogan anymore. Feeling hopeful. 💪
