Raipur, April 13, 2026\/ Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai on Monday listened to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s address at the \u2018Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan\u2019, broadcast from Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, at his residence office here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He described the moment as significant for the country\u2019s women, stating that it will further strengthen and widen the democratic framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister said the effort to ensure women\u2019s participation from \u201cPanchayat to Parliament\u201d reflects the direction of a changing India. He noted that the direct involvement of women in decision-making forms a strong foundation for a developed nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the discussion on the \u2018Nari Shakti Vandan Act\u2019 in Parliament on April 16 marks an important step towards giving shape to this initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister further added that women have always held a respected place in India\u2019s cultural tradition. From the Vedic period to the present, their role in shaping society has remained central. He added that initiatives undertaken under the double-engine government are helping women move forward with greater independence and dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister said Chhattisgarh has taken several steps to strengthen women\u2019s participation. Fifty percent reservation in local bodies has provided leadership opportunities, with a visible impact at the grassroots. Initiatives such as the \u2018Mahtari Vandan Yojana\u2019 are supporting women socially and economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said it is notable that while the country is discussing women\u2019s reservation, Chhattisgarh is observing \u2018Mahtari Gaurav Varsh\u2019. People hold \u2018Chhattisgarh Mahtari\u2019 in high regard, and women\u2019s participation now defines the state\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Minister urged women and women-centric organisations to raise their voice on every platform and take part in this process of change. He expressed confidence that greater participation of women will strengthen democracy and lead to positive social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen women are empowered, the nation grows stronger,\u201d he said, adding that the time has come to ensure equal rights and a decisive role for women in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Health Minister Shri Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, Rajya Sabha MP Smt. Laxmi Verma, MLA Shri Purandar Mishra, and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
