Dehradun, 07 March (HS). On the occasion of International Women's Day, the Chief Minister, along with the people of the state, especially while congratulating the mother power, said that women power is the national power. There cannot be complete development of any society or nation without the support of mother power.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that in India, women have been worshiped as power since time immemorial, women are the guide as well as a source of inspiration for the society. In our scriptures, it has been said in respect of women that Yatra Naryastu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devta i.e. where women are worshipped, there reside the gods. Effective efforts are being made by the state government to improve the present of women for a better future.
The Chief Minister said that March 8 is dedicated to the name of half the world's population. This day is important for a large section of the society without which the imagination of the world remains incomplete. Our government is dedicated to the upliftment of mother power. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, many schemes are being run by the government for the welfare of women. Many schemes including Jal Jeevan Mission, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Ujjwala Yojana are being run by the Central Government. In the same direction, the state government is also running many schemes in the interests of women.
He said that the state government has made a provision of 30 percent reservation for women in government jobs so that women can get equal opportunities in this state with unfavorable geographical conditions. Along with this, the state government has started schemes like Mukhyamantri Nari Empowerment Yojana, Mukhyamantri Mahalaxmi Yojana, Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Mukhyamantri Aanchal Amrit Yojana, Mukhyamantri Self-Employment Scheme, Mukhyamantri Minority Medhavi Yojana, Nanda Gaura Matrivandana Yojana and Mahila Poshan Abhiyan.
The Chief Minister said that the state government has fulfilled the promise made to the people by passing the Uniform Civil Code in the Uttarakhand Assembly. This is also a law related to respect for women. The Uniform Civil Code is not for any caste or religious community but for the interests of the entire state. Today, in the remote areas of the state, women are forming self-help groups in every village and giving impetus to the rural economy through cottage industries. Women have never had any shortage of skills and now these skills are strengthening their economy.
