National Girl Child Day brings the spotlight back to India’s daughters, whose empowerment PM Narendra Modi views as central to progress. This philosophy permeates his governance, steering policies toward equity and ambition for girls nationwide.
Enter Tarushi Gaur from Chandigarh, whose taekwondo saga began at four. Her story of medals—from National School Games to CBSE Nationals—and a Guinness Record exemplifies unyielding spirit, as detailed in a ‘Modi Archive’ X video.
The 2022 National Bal Shakti Puraskar, handed by PM Modi on this very day, marked a turning point. ‘His down-to-earth nature amazed me,’ Tarushi reflects. ‘He engages kids so affectionately, pushing us to excel. “Harder work ahead—no stopping,” he advised.’
More impactful than the accolade was the confidence boost from his candor. Intimidated girls found solace in his easygoing vibe. ‘We were all tense at first,’ Tarushi notes, ‘but PM Modi’s charm put everyone at ease for heartfelt exchanges.’
From Beti Bachao Beti Padhao to targeted support in sports and innovation, these efforts underscore girls’ role in India’s future. The event’s live coverage reached schools everywhere, igniting aspirations in young hearts.
Echoing this, ‘Modi Archive’ on X declares National Girl Child Day a pledge to empower girls with opportunities. Tarushi’s inspiration proves: fueled by belief, girls don’t just succeed—they elevate the country.
