Govt committed to self-reliance of women, says Adityanath
Adityanath listed the Kanya Sumangala, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, community marriage and other schemes introduced by the government and said these produced impressive results.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday asserted that women empowerment is the government’s top priority. The Nari Shakti Vandan law providing 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies reveals Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to making women self-reliant and empowering them to battle for their own rights, he said at an event in Gorakhpur.
By strengthening women, the society and the nation can strengthen themselves, he said. Adityanath was addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur after presenting sewing machines to 1150 women who completed training as part the Unnat Bharat Gram Abhiyan under the banner of the MP Education Council.
He listed the Kanya Sumangala, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, community marriage and other schemes introduced by the government and said these produced impressive results.
He told the women that the sewing machines, coupled with their skills, can give them a source of income in garments factories of Gorakhpur and they can earn ₹500 to ₹1000 daily.
The chief minister also flagged off two mobile medical van that would cater to slums and Vantangiya villages in Gorakhpur and remote hamlets on the Indo-Nepal Border.
