Smriti Irani Thanks Supporters, Pledges Service After Amethi Defeat
Union Minister of Women and Child Development Smriti Irani on Sunday said that the vision of a selfreliant India is not possible without an empowered womanhood.
The Union minister said this while addressing a webinar on the theme of ‘The Resolve of Self-Reliant India, Decisive Role of Women Empowerment in its Attainment’, organised by Panjab University.
She further said that Indian society must revert back to the Indian way of thinking in which an Indian woman, in contrast to western construct, was not a mere object or a person in servitude but an equal partner who participated in debates and wrote treaties. ‘Access to capital’ and ‘Access to skill’ are the two areas where women need to be encouraged, she stressed.
Later, Padam Shri Awardee Malini Awasthi delved on the cultural contexts in her talk and stressed on how Indian cultural values have been carried forward by Indian women.
