Prime Minister Narendra Modi today distributed certificates to 11 lakh new Lakhpati Didis in a function organised at Jalgaon in Maharashtra. The Prime Minister also felicitated Lakhpati Didis and discussed with them about their businesses.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister noted that the women power of India has always contributed to building the future of society and the nation.
He underlined that the government is working towards opening all sectors for women that were once restricted for them. Mr. Modi noted that the safety of women is a top priority of the nation, along with their empowerment. The Prime Minister said that atrocities against women are an unpardonable sin and the guilty must not be spared. He added that public institutions like hospitals, schools, offices, or the police system should be made accountable, and any negligence in the past is unacceptable.
Mr. Modi said our biggest responsibility as a society and as a government should be to protect the lives and dignity of women.
