PM Modi’s Take on the Day

After these inspiring posts, Prime Minister Modi shared his thoughts, appreciating their contributions.

“Since morning, you’ve all seen inspiring posts by extraordinary women sharing their own journeys and inspiring other women. These women belong to different parts of India and have excelled in different areas, but there’s one underlying theme — the prowess of India’s Nari Shakti. Their determination and success remind us of the boundless potential women hold.”

He added that their contributions shape a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) and should be celebrated daily, not just on Women’s Day.

Let’s carry forward the spirit of Nari Shakti, not just on March 8 but every day!
