PM Modi to address 'Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan' in Delhi today

PM Narendra Modi addresses a national conference on women-led development, focusing on the implementation of women's reservation in legislatures.

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

New Delhi, April 13

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a national-level 'Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan' at the Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital on Monday at 11 a.m.

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 official 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 to see the government pushing for women-led development. My sister is a sarpanch in our village and the change she has brought is incredible. When women lead, the focus is often on education, health, and community welfare. This is the right direction for Viksit Bharat.

While I appreciate the intent, I hope this isn't just another token event before elections. We need sustained policy support—better safety, access to capital for women entrepreneurs, and tackling deep-rooted social biases. The sammelan should address these ground realities.

As an observer from abroad, India's move on women's reservation is impressive. Bringing diverse achievers together can spark great ideas. The key will be translating this dialogue into tangible outcomes across all states, especially in rural areas. Wishing the event success.

Nari Shakti is not just a slogan. From ISRO scientists to Olympic medalists, Indian women are proving themselves everywhere. This conference should highlight these stories to inspire millions of young girls. Jai Hind!

True empowerment means giving women a voice in decisions that affect them. The 33% reservation is a start, but let's ensure the women who get these seats have real power, not just sit as proxies. The sammelan must discuss how to prevent that.
