Women Empowerment - A Visionary Step Towards Development

India is the country where respecting women and protecting their honor has been long standing tradition. Here, women are considered to be the embodiment of the goddess of the strength, wealth and wisdom in their various forms. The birth of girl child in the family is said to be the blessings of goddess of good fortune upon the family.

ln the backdrop of this culture, when some women of certain sections of the society do not receive the benefits that are their fundamental rights and that deter their development, the need rises to take certain measures to ensure that all sections or the society are strong and grow equally.

In Gujarat, inclusive development has been emphasized upon for all the development activities that take place. In the last decade, the former Chief Minister Narendra Modi laid emphasis on this idea of inclusive development, and women have been a very important part of this.

Anandiben Patel, the first woman Chief Minister of Gujarat, stresses on the subject or emancipation of women which is vital and close to her heart as the CM of the state. Gujarat has a large population of women residing in the state. She recognize that if this woman-power is involved in the economic activities and independent decision making, it will contribute to a great extent towards development of the state. It is said that if a man progresses, it is his personal achievement, or the achievement of one family unit. But if a woman progresses, it is the progress of the whole society and generations to come.

With this vision of the Chief Minister Anandiben Patel, the Gujarat Government took up this mission to give further impetus to the upliftment of women in the state.

Many steps have been taken in this regard in the past. Revolutionary steps like relief on stamp duty if agricultural land is on a Woman's name. including women's names in the papers of the property granted by the government in earthquake relief programme, empowering the anganwadi workers to encourage them, are all a step towards uplifting the status of women in the society.

Women empowerment gives a new energy to the development of a State, and this is the Vision of the CM with which she gave rise to the idea of Gatisheel Gujarat.
