Greetings!

The significance of International Women's Day grows as India celebrates the Amrit
Mahotsava of its independence. The nation also remembers those women stalwarts
and inspiring women who helped preserve India's identity. Following the path shown
by beacons of women power like Kittur's Rani Chennamma, Matangini Hazra, Rani
Lakshmibai, Jhalkari Bai, Ahalyabai Holkar and Savitribai Phule, the New India is working
to build a country of their dreams.
Only a nation-society that values women can progress. In the last few years from
ensuring their safety to independence, the government has taken a number of important
steps, due to which half of the population now has a safe environment where they can
exhibit their skills. New India's thinking is not limited to women's development; rather, it
has embarked on a journey of women-led development.

As a result, whether it's the army or a startup, the Olympics or research, the country's
daughters are excelling in every field in New India today. Whether it is an increase in
women's participation in Parliament or an increase in the number of women in relation
to men in the sex ratio, this shift indicates how powerful the New India will be. Women-
sensitive policies in the country, such as "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao," have awoken society.
People now want to see their daughters soar to self-reliance and wish to secure their
future.
Women's power is becoming the vehicle of prosperity for the nation as a result of the
central government's schemes and policies. It's the cover story on the eve of International
Women's Day. This issue contains articles including tribute to Bharat Ratna awardee
Lata Mangeshkar's death, the special bond between Lata Mangeshkar and Prime
Minister Modi, the PM Shramyogi Maan Dhan Yojana for more workers, Biju Patnaik as a
personality, the stories of freedom fighters in the Amrit Mahotsav episode. This edition
also features stories about Covid Updates, Prime Minister's speech in Parliament, and his
addresses on various schemes at different platforms.
