Special efforts are necessary to develop leadership abilities among women: CM Yogi

Lucknow|Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday held a special meeting with all the officials including the Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and members of the newly formed ‘State Women Commission’. During this, he also discussed the objectives, responsibilities and rights of the formation of the commission and gave necessary guidelines.

Chief Minister Yogi said in the meeting that ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Act’ is going to be effective in the country as soon as possible. Through this, one-third of the total seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies will be reserved for women. So that the women of the state can get real benefits from it, it is necessary to make special efforts to develop their leadership abilities. State Women’s Commission has a big role in the protection and welfare of women’s interests. State Women Commission should prepare a detailed program for this.

CM Yogi said that the state government is making many efforts to provide opportunities for the safety and development of women and daughters. The government is running many schemes in the interest of women. Special helpline numbers have also been issued to help women. Their positive results are also being seen. Officials of the Commission should communicate with local women about this during their stay in the district. The Chief Minister’s Office is expected to be informed about the feedback received from there. If someone has not been able to get the benefits of the scheme, then recommendations should also be made by the Commission for them.

The Chief Minister said that efforts are being made by the government to free the children trapped in illegal begging activities and connect them with the mainstream by making arrangements for their education, housing etc. State Women Commission should contribute effectively in this work. ‘Krishna Kutir’ has been established for destitute women in Vrindavan with the cooperation of the Government of India. Destitute women’s centres also operate. Many of the women living here are educated. Some have handicraft skills. Some are knowledgeable in some other genre. To properly utilise their talent and potential, the Commission should communicate with these women and give their suggestions.

He also said that women’s residential homes, Atal Residential Schools, Kasturba Schools, women’s hostels, Ashram system schools should also be inspected by the officials of the Commission.
