Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday participated in the foundation day program of the 30th National Commission for Women (NCW) through video conferencing. In his address, the Prime Minister said that marriage at an early age should not hinder the education and career of daughters, so our government has tried to raise the age of marriage of daughters to 21 years.
The PM said that the stage of 30 years, whether in the life of an individual or of an organization, is very important. This is the time for new responsibilities, for moving forward with new energy. Today the role of women in changing India is continuously expanding.
Therefore, the expansion of the role of the National Commission for Women is also the need of the hour. In such a situation, today all the women’s commissions of the country will also have to increase their scope and give a new direction to the women of their state.
Make in India changed the old thinking
The old thinking had considered the skills of women as a matter of domestic work. It is necessary to change this old thinking in order to advance the economy of the country. Make in India is doing the same thing today. Self-reliant India campaign is connecting this ability of women with the development of the country.
Promote the role of women
The participation of women in the growth cycle of New India is increasing continuously. Women’s commissions should give maximum recognition to this role of women in the entrepreneurship of the society, it should be promoted.
