In the 123 episode of ‘Mann ki Baat’ address, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi highlighted the vital role of self-reliant women in shaping the
growth story of India. He said that the mantra of ‘Women-Led Development’
is paving the way for a new and empowered future for the nation. Today, our
mothers, sisters, and daughters are not just progressing themselves; they
are giving a new direction to society as a whole. From the inspiring efforts of
women in Bhadrachalam (Telangana) to Kalaburagi (Karnataka) to Suma
Uike from Madhya Pradesh, such examples reflect the spirit of transformation
taking place in every corner of the country. These women are not merely
beneficiaries of progress; they are the drivers of growth, playing a crucial role
in realising the vision of Viksit Bharat.
