New Delhi, June 8

Highlighting the NDA government's efforts to redefine women-led development in the last 11 years, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that empowered women are the foundation of Aatmnirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India).

In a post on X, Shah wrote, "Empowered women are the foundation of a self-reliant India. For the Modi government, nothing is more important than mother and motherland. In #11YearsOfSashaktNari , the Modi government has given a new boost to the spirits of women by making them self-reliant. From 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' to toilets, Ujjwala, ban on triple talaq, their dignity and 'Nari Shakti Vandan Act' and recruitment in armed forces are ensuring their historic participation in nation-building."

Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that various government initiatives are intended to empower the country's "Nari Shakti."

In a post on X, PM Modi said that women are excelling and inspiring several people in all sectors, including science, education, sports, StartUps and the armed forces.

"Over the last 11 years, the NDA Government has redefined women-led development. Various initiatives, from ensuring dignity through Swachh Bharat to financial inclusion via Jan Dhan accounts, the focus has been on empowering our Nari Shakti," PM Modi said.

"In all sectors, including science, education, sports, StartUps and the armed forces, women are excelling and inspiring several people," the Prime Minister said.

PM Modi highlighted the key schemes launched by his government, such as Ujjwala Yojana and the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme.

"Ujjwala Yojana brought smoke-free kitchens to several homes. MUDRA loans enabled lakhs of women entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams on their own terms. Houses under the women's name in the PM Awas Yojana too have made a remarkable impact. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao ignited a national movement to protect the girl child," he said.

As a working mother, I've seen firsthand how Ujjwala Yojana has transformed lives in my village. No more smoke-filled kitchens! But we need more focus on urban working women too - better childcare facilities and flexible work policies would truly empower us. 🙌

While the schemes are good, implementation at ground level needs improvement. In my district, many women still haven't received their MUDRA loans despite applying months ago. Government should focus on last-mile delivery.

Proud to see our daughters in armed forces! 👏 This is real women empowerment. My niece got selected in Indian Air Force last year - breaking stereotypes in our conservative family. More power to Nari Shakti!

The property rights given to women under PM Awas Yojana is revolutionary. In rural India, this has given women financial security they never had before. But we need more financial literacy programs to help them manage these assets.

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao changed mindsets in Haryana where I live. Earlier people would hide daughters, now they're proudly sending them to school. But we need more women in leadership roles - panchayats to parliament!

As a small business owner who got MUDRA loan, I can say these schemes are life-changing. But the paperwork is too complex - government should simplify processes. Also, more awareness needed in tier-2/3 cities about these opportunities.
