"bring together a wide spectrum of stakeholders to deliberate on the role of women in India's development journey - Official Statement"

New Delhi, April 12

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend and address a national-level 'Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan' at the Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital on Monday at 11 a.m., according to an official statement issued on Sunday.

The Sammelan is expected to witness the participation of eminent personalities and women achievers from diverse fields, including government, academia, science, sports, entrepreneurship, media, social work, and culture.

The event aims to bring together a wide spectrum of stakeholders to deliberate on the role of women in India's development journey.

The programme is being organised as part of the Union government's broader push towards women-led development and seeks to underline the importance of greater participation of women in decision-making processes.

It will also highlight the growing presence of women in leadership roles across sectors, from grassroots governance institutions such as Panchayats to the national Parliament.

The event comes in the backdrop of the landmark passage of the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' in September 2023, which marked a significant step towards enhancing women's representation in legislative bodies.

The legislation provides for one-third reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, a move widely seen as transformative for India's political landscape.

With a focus now shifting towards the implementation of women's reservation across the country, a session of Parliament has been convened on April 16 to 18 to deliberate further on the issue.

The Sammelan is expected to build momentum around this initiative and reaffirm the Union government's commitment to ensuring greater inclusivity in governance.

According to the statement, the Sammelan will also emphasise the importance of women's participation in shaping India's future as the country moves towards its long-term vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, often referred to as 'Viksit Bharat 2047'.

The Union government has consistently highlighted women-led development as a central pillar of its vision for a developed India.

The Sammelan is expected to reinforce this narrative and further strengthen efforts towards achieving inclusive and sustainable growth.

Good initiative, but these conferences often feel like photo-ops. Real women-led development means safer streets, better childcare support, and equal pay in the private sector. Let's see concrete policies follow the speeches.

As a young entrepreneur, I'm excited! Highlighting women in STEM and business is crucial. Reservation in politics is one thing, but we need more funding and mentorship for women starting their own ventures. The Viksit Bharat vision needs our shakti!

Watching from abroad, this seems like a significant move. Empowering half your population is key to any nation's growth. The 33% reservation law could be a model for other democracies. Interested to see how the implementation unfolds.

My wife is a Sarpanch in our village panchayat. Since women got reservation there, our village has seen more focus on water, sanitation, and school facilities. This law for Parliament will amplify that change at the national level. Jai Hind!

The focus should also be on the quality of participation, not just numbers. We need to ensure women from all backgrounds, especially from rural areas and marginalized communities, get a real voice, not just a seat. The sammelan must discuss this.
