Celebrations for National Girl Child Day highlight India’s drive to fortify its future through daughters, a cornerstone of PM Narendra Modi’s vision. His tenure has infused national discourse with empowerment, reshaping opportunities for girls.
Tarushi Gaur, Chandigarh’s taekwondo sensation who started training at four, lives this reality. ‘Modi Archive’s’ X video chronicles her medal haul across nationals and her Guinness feat, showcasing pure tenacity.
Receiving the 2022 National Bal Shakti Puraskar from PM Modi on Girl Child Day was transformative. ‘Incredibly humble for a PM,’ she says. ‘He motivates children with genuine joy, telling me, “Keep pushing—no breaks in effort.”‘
The real gift was his reassuring presence, calming jittery young recipients. ‘Fellow girl awardees were petrified,’ Tarushi shares, ‘yet his warmth melted fears, sparking free-flowing talks.’
Policies like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and girls’ advancements in key fields affirm their vital role. Broadcast widely, the ceremony showed schoolgirls across India their potential, including PM encounters.
‘When the live telecast aired,’ Tarushi adds, ‘it inspired others to aim high.’ ‘Modi Archive’ on X sums it up: This day urges faith in girls’ dreams and equal platforms. Their progress propels the nation forward.
