On this occasion, the Chief Minister wished the participants a Happy International Women’s Day. The Chief Minister said that the state government is constantly making efforts in the direction of women empowerment. We have recently started many schemes only for women. Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya said that empowerment of women should be started from the time of birth of a girl child. He said that women themselves should contribute the most in empowering women.
Cabinet Minister Rekha Arya said that the Mahila Sarathi Yojana will prove to be a milestone in the direction of women empowerment in the state. He said that after seeing the progress of the pilot project for 6 months, there is a preparation to implement this scheme in the entire state.
