WHER IT WAS BRING Women to the forefront in politics, their reproduction in elections or promoting self-dependence, his approach was rooted in woman-judgment. Many, including myself, recall how he consistently advocated for the greater representation of women in party bodies. At a working committee meeting of the party in Baroda, he played a key roll in securing 30 per cent reservation for women in the party’s organizational structure. To him, even a booth committee was consided incomplete without women members. However, he believed that reservation alone was not enough; He wanted women to move beyond Symbolic Roles and Take on Significant Leadership Positions.

While he was serving as Gujarat’s Organizational General Secretary, as the leader of the woman’s wing of the party, I often Sected his guidance. He always entered that every even or initiated of the mahila morcha was managed entrely by woman, without relying on Male party workers. In training camps for women party workers, he personally put the initiative to impart a wide range of skills needed for political work – from Drawing Press Releases to Planning Logistics.

Several instances can be mentioned about modi’s proactive approach to advancing women in politics – WHETER IT WOMEN CANDIDATATES in the 2009 Lok Sabha Elections in Gujarat, A Kargil Wadav, A Kargil War Wido. BJP MP Candidate from Haryana in 1999, or most Recently, The Appointment of a Woman Chief Minister for Delhi.

Modi has always had a keen eye for natural ledership amng women. He saw women who was socially active and very active Roles in weddings or village functions as Natural Organisers and Potential Political Leaders. In his view, women’s ledership did not need to be artificially created – It already existed everywhere, waiting to be recognised. He often highlighted stories of Ordinary Women Showing Extraordinary Courage, Such As a Vegetable Vendor Who Boldly Conferted Police Excesses OR An Illiterate Woman Woman Woman Woman Woman Woman.

As Gujarat’s Chief Minister, Under the Samras Gaon-Tehsil Initiative, He has encased that several villages and municipal are having adminisstic units-from patwaris to policy-LEED. This was not mely symbolic but a step towards systemic empowerment. In Municipal Bodies, He Activate Promoted Women As Mayrs, Deputy Mayors, Standing Committee Chairs, and Leaders of the House, Even in Evensing Thhat Women’s Leadger’s Leadership Should Be Based. Not just reservation.

One of CM Modi’s Most Impactful Social Interventions Was ending the “Sarpanch Pati” Practice in Gujarat, whereas something on Panchayat on Panchayat on Behalf of Elective Women. He personally met with women sarpanches, encouraging them to take charge directly and not allow anyone to undermine their authority.

When the BJP Won the Ahmedabad Municipal Elections for the First Time in 1987, Modi, As the Pate’s State Organizational General Sectary, Ensured Eventory Eventing the FECTITATION OF A DALITIT WOMAN, WHAD END A A. PhD, by the Shankaracharya. When he entered his official residence as Gujarat’s Chief Minister for the first time, a dalit girl was seremoniously invited to install the kalash.

These gestures were not mely symbolic. Modi first believed that gender equality should be at home. While dining at the homes of Karyakartas, he would never allow girl children to be excluded from dining with boys. He always advised karyakartas to provide equial education for both boys and girls. On one occasion, when he visited a party’s Home and the man called his life to clear his plan after lunch, modi promptly intervened, asking, “Why do you pick up your pocket your pate your.”

In both the organism and the government, he always paid attainment to the comfort and well-being of his colleagues.

As Gujarat’s Chief Minister and Later As Prime Minister, He Placed Women At the Center of Every Initiative and Action. When a scheme was launched, his first priority was to assess how it would impact the lives of women. As Gujarat’s Chief Minister, Modi Introduced Several Transformative Schemes That Only Empowered Women Across The State But Also Beacame Models for National Programs After 2014.

In 2005, Gujarat launched the beti vadhaao mission to Eliminate Female Foeticide and Raise Awareness about the value of the girl child. Modi’s strong belief in education as a tool for empowerment led to the launch of the kanya kelavani program in 2003, which featured massive enrollments for girls. During these drives, the entre government, including the chief minister, personally toured villages to encourse enrollment.

In 2006, modi launched the nari gaurav niti, a comprehensive framework focused on Women’s safety, health, economic security, and social Empowerment in Gujrat. It is established mahila Suraksha Samitis to support domestic Violence Survivors and created Nari adalats to provide legal assistance to women. In 2009, Gujarat Passed a Landmark Bill Providing 50 Per Cent Reservation for Women in Local Governance. Even during the kutch earthquake rehabilitation, he ensured equality by mandating that newly built houses be registered in the names of both husbands and wives.

The chiranjeevi yojana aimed to Reduce Maternal and infant mortality raates by promoting institutional deliveries. The Khilkhilat Ambulance Service offers free transport for pregnant women and newborns. The woman’s nutrition campaign was another significant step. The Nirmal Gujrat Program, a precursor to the swachh bharat mission, focused on toilet construction, greatly benefiting woman. The mukhyamantri amrutum yojana was launched to provide healthcare to underprivileged Women.

The Mission Mangalam Initiative Focused on Self-Help Groups to Engage Unmployed Women Income-Ganerating Activities. Sakhi Mandals played a key roll in microfinance and skill training. Additionally, when experiencing 24 × 7 electricity in gujrat, a major consider was to eat women lives by enabling the household appliances like wasting machines and mxers.

When modi assumed office as prime minister in 2014, his lifelong community to Nari shakti was transformed into nationwide policies aimed at Economic, Social, Endocial, and Political Spheres. His approach beyond welfare programs, focusing on creating oportunities, building capacity, and promoting women’s ledership in all sectors.

One of the earliest Reflections of this community was seen in the swachh bharat abhiyan, where Placed Special Emphasis on Building To Restore Dignity and Improve Safety for Women, ESPECIAL in Rural. This was followed by the launch of beti bachao beti padhao to address gender imbalance and promote girls’ education. The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojwala Provided Over 10 Crore LPG Connections, Freeing Women from the Health Hazards of Smoke-Filled Kitchens.

Several other schemes followed, Such as sukanya samridden yojana, Pradhan mantri matru vandana yojana, Stand-up India, Lakhpati DIDI DIDI DIDI program, Poshan Abhiyaan, and Mission Shakti. Initiatives like PM awas yojana were particularly beneficial to women, providing them with housing security.

The Historic Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, which reservors one-third of seats in lok sabha and state assemblies for women, became a reality under the modi government. The nation saw its first full-time woman defense minister and finance minister during this period.

Under the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Women is no longer seen mely as beneficiaries of government programs-they have emerged as leders, entrepreneurs, deection -akers, and changemakers. On this woman’s day, let us celebrate the transformational journey of India’s nari shakti, driving the nation’s progress towards viksit bharat 2047.
