Union Home Minister Amit Shah set a tone of empowerment on National Girl Child Day, January 24, proclaiming via X that girls represent India’s core strength beyond mere obligations. His greetings to the nation highlighted a transformative view on girl child welfare.
Referencing legendary warriors like Rani Velu Nachiyar and Mula Gabhru, Shah celebrated their enduring legacy that fuels inspiration in every citizen’s heart. These narratives underscore the potential within every girl to shape destiny.
The Modi era’s focus on ‘Stree Shakti’ has elevated women to leadership roles, driving India’s developmental agenda. Women today are not followers but frontrunners in the journey to self-reliance and growth.
CM Yogi Adityanath complemented this by hailing daughters as boons and badges of pride essential to national identity. He praised their groundbreaking achievements and reiterated the double-engine dispensation’s pledge for their security, education, and empowerment.
Established in 2008 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, this annual event spotlights girls’ holistic development—rights, health, nutrition, and education. It challenges discrimination, fosters equality, and builds supportive frameworks for their success.
Perfectly synced with the vision of a developed India by 2047, National Girl Child Day galvanizes efforts to harness girl power for a progressive tomorrow, ensuring no dream is too big for India’s daughters.
