Change of mind-sets critical for
Women Empowerment: Venkaiah Naidu
Minister
for Information & Broadcasting Shri M .Venkaiah Naidu today met the Women employees
of the Ministry of I&B on the occasion of International Women’s Day. While
interacting with them, the Minister acknowledged and appreciated the efforts undertaken
by the Nari Shakti in the Ministry to mainstream the vision of Reform, Perform
and Transform. He further mentioned that he was hopeful of political
empowerment of women becoming a reality soon under the leadership of Hon’ble
Prime Minister.
On
the issue of reservation for women, Shri Naidu said that a strong political
will and change in mind sets were critical elements in addressing the larger
issues related to women. It was also critical to firmly establish the 3E’s i.e Women
Empowerment, Emancipation and Equality within the institutional framework of
society and should be facilitated by all stakeholders.
Shri Naidu also said that, it’s time to
celebrate all the women in our lives - our Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and
Wives. Each and every woman is gentle, caring and kind. He said that woman is
synonymous to perfection, hard work, efficient, multi- tasker and compassion
that have made this world more humane. It was imperative that we must
appreciate and respect their beautiful hearts. He urged all to acknowledge and
celebrate all the things they have achieved. Although Women’s Day was
celebrated today, but Celebrating women and girl child should be an everyday
ritual.
He
mentioned that Women who have always been referred as the ‘better half’ in a
relation were actually the ‘best half’ in any relation. They have always been
our Friend, Philosopher and Guide in each and every aspect of our life.
Mentioning the importance of woman in our lives, the Minister also quoted Brigham
Young that, “You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate
a generation”.
This
is for the first time that such a n interface with women personnel was
organized on the occasion of International Women’s Day by the Ministry. Women
staff from all sections and ranks participated in the interaction with Shri
Naidu. The Minister also interacted with the staff on their experiences in
working in the Ministry.
