Kharakwal expressed happiness over the passing of the reservation bill by the Parliament, “After three decades of uncertainty, the Women’s Reservation Bill (Nari Shakti Vandan Act) was passed by the Lok Sabha. With this bill, women’s participation in Legislative Assemblies and Lok Sabha will increase. The voice of women would be heard more prominently and more opportunities would come for women politicians to raise the women’s issues.”

She said, “Today women from every section of society are benefiting from Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Samarth Yojana, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, free sewing machines and safe motherhood schemes.”
