He described the occasion as a historic moment for the nation\u2019s women, stating it would play a decisive role in making India\u2019s democracy more inclusive and empowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vishnu Deo Sai said that ensuring women\u2019s participation from grassroots institutions like Panchayats to the Parliament reflects the vision of a &#8220;New India.&#8221; He noted that the Prime Minister has consistently highlighted the importance of women\u2019s direct involvement in governance as a foundation for a developed nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to the proposed discussion in Parliament on 16 April regarding the \u2018Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam,\u2019 the Chief Minister termed it a significant step toward translating the vision of women\u2019s reservation into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further said that Indian traditions have always accorded women a position of respect. Government initiatives are now reinforcing this legacy in a modern context, enabling women to move forward with dignity and self-reliance, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting efforts in Chhattisgarh, he pointed out that 50 per cent reservation in local self-government bodies has opened leadership opportunities for women, with visible positive outcomes at the grassroots level. He also mentioned schemes such as the \u2018Mahtari Vandan Yojana,\u2019 which aim to strengthen women socially and economically across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chief Minister stated that it is a significant moment that discussions on women\u2019s reservation are taking place nationally while the state is observing \u2018Mahtari Gaurav Varsh.\u2019 He said that respect for \u2018Chhattisgarh Mahtari\u2019 and the active participation of women are becoming defining features of the state\u2019s development journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He called upon women and organisations to actively participate in this transformative phase. Increased participation of women, he said, would further strengthen democratic values and bring positive changes to society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, April 13: Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Monday said that women\u2019s reservation would grant full rights to half of the country\u2019s population and significantly enhance their participation in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2215,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chhattisgarh","category-display","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2216"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2216\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2217,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2216\/revisions\/2217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsaxis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
