On this International Women's Day, we salute women's unwavering spirit, who are not just passive observers but active agents of change in India's economic landscape. As we chart our course towards a $5 trillion economy by 2027, women emerge as the cornerstone of this monumental undertaking. They are more than just participants; they are driving forces in industries ranging from agriculture to technology, igniting growth and innovation.

India's pursuit of 'Vikasit Bharat' lays the groundwork for an inclusive economic resurgence that will put women at the forefront. Initiatives such as the Mudra Yojana and increased female enrollment in higher education demonstrate our unwavering dedication to female empowerment. The transformative power of Self-Help Groups, with millions of rural women becoming 'lakhpati didis,' exemplifies our collective progress towards economic parity.

Let resilience be our guide as we navigate the professional landscape. Challenges are stepping stones, not obstacles. Let us march forward, steadfast in our commitment to empowering women, increasing productivity, and fostering inclusive growth. Together, we are shaping a future in which every woman's potential thrives, adding to the tapestry of our country's success.
