"Empowering women is essential for India's development. The time of viewing women as 'homemakers' is over; women now need to be seen as nation builders! In January 2014, Gujarat's then-chief minister, Narendra Modi, tweeted.

In line with his dedication to "nari shakti," Prime Minister Modi has introduced a number of initiatives since taking office in May 2014.

The National Democratic Alliance administration, which is run by the Bharatiya Janata Party, has been in power for eight years at the federal level. This year, Modi delivered the "big picture," or the accomplishments of his administration in achieving the aim of women's empowerment.

Sharing a series of MyGov tweets, Prime Minister Modi had said, “You will enjoy reading these articles on how a new paradigm is being created to further empowerment of women. These efforts cover diverse sectors and have ensured more dignity as well as opportunities for women.”
