Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to ‘Nari Shakti’ on International Women’s Day, acknowledging the strength and invaluable contributions of women across the nation.
In a post on X, PM Modi announced that his social media platforms would be taken over by women from diverse fields, providing them a stage to showcase their achievements and inspire others.
“We bow to our Nari Shakti on #WomensDay! Our Government has always worked for empowering women, reflecting in our schemes and programmes. Today, as promised, my social media properties will be taken over by women who are making a mark in diverse fields!” the Prime Minister said.
Earlier on February 23, PM Modi had revealed this special initiative, stating that on Women’s Day (March 8), he would hand over his social media accounts, including X and Instagram, to a select group of inspiring women. These women, who have excelled in various fields, would use the platforms to share their work, experiences, and challenges with the nation.
In his address during the 119th episode of Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi elaborated on the vision behind this initiative. “This time, on Women’s Day, I am going to take an initiative which will be dedicated to our women’s power. On this special occasion, I am going to hand over my social media accounts like X and Instagram to a few inspiring women in our country for one day. These women have achieved success, innovated, and made a distinct mark for themselves in different fields. On March 8, they will share their work and experiences with the countrymen,” he said.
“The platform may be mine, but their experiences, challenges, and achievements will be discussed there,” the Prime Minister added.
PM Modi also invited women to participate in this unique opportunity via the NAMO App, urging them to spread their messages on a global scale.
“If you want this opportunity to be yours, then through the special forum created on the NAMO App, become a part of this experiment and spread your message to the whole world through my X and Instagram accounts. So on this Women’s Day, let us celebrate and respect the indomitable power of women,” he said.
