NEW INDIA FOCUSSED ON

WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT

hrough changes in legislation and new initiatives,
the government has created an environment
Twhere women can walk shoulder to shoulder with
men and perform to their full potential in every sector.
Whether it is through the recruitment of fighter pilots,
commandos, or central police forces in the Indian Air
Force, or by making provisions for women's participation
in non-traditional fields such as the admission of girls
to Sainik schools, women are everywhere. There is also a
provision in the Mudra Yojana to increase entrepreneurship
among women. The government has created "Mission Shakti," an umbrella
programme aimed at ensuring women's safety and empowerment. The central
government's initiatives towards women, schemes to support them in every crisis
as well as schemes to make life easier, also display the meaningful and dedicated
thinking of the government towards women.
