Shah honored trailblazers like Rani Lakshmibai and Pritilata Waddedar, whose bravery evokes profound pride and motivates generations. Their examples illuminate the boundless capabilities of Indian girls.
Praising the Modi government’s women-centric policies, he highlighted how female leadership is propelling India forward, with women at the helm of transformative progress across spheres.
