Today, on #GandhiJayanti, I will be in Ahmedabad for a special Swachh Bharat Diwas Programme on the banks of the Sabarmati. During the programme, we would recognise the commendable work of several Swachhagrahis who have worked round the clock to fulfil Gandhi Ji’s dream.
From Ahmedabad, a city closely associated with beloved Bapu, we will showcase our efforts towards creating a Swachh Bharat and derive strength to continue working on the tenets shown by Gandhi Ji. We will be lauding those involved in plastic waste cleaning Shramdan. #Gandhi150
In Ahmedabad, I will pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi at the Sabarmati Ashram.
I will also join a cultural Navratri event in the city. The vibrant culture of Gujarat is on full display during Navratri! If you have not experienced this festival in Gujarat, you must do so!

BIMSTEC is an important forum to further global good. It is imperative we strengthen it and deepen our engagement. In this context, I proposed a 21-point Action Plan covering different aspects of our cooperation.
It’s time to boost business across BIMSTEC nations!
Let’s harness the rich potential of the IT sector and make BIMSTEC technologically stronger.
संसद के दोनों सदनों से वक्फ (संशोधन) विधेयक और मुसलमान वक्फ (निरसन) विधेयक का पारित होना देश के लिए एक ऐतिहासिक क्षण है। यह सामाजिक-आर्थिक न्याय, पारदर्शिता और समावेशी विकास की हमारी सामूहिक प्रतिबद्धता को सामने लाता है। यह विशेष रूप से उन लोगों के लिए फायदेमंद होगा, जो लंबे समय से हाशिये पर रहे हैं, जिनकी आवाज अनसुनी रही और जिन्हें अवसरों से वंचित रहना पड़ा है।
उन सभी सांसदों का हृदय से आभार, जिन्होंने संसद और कमेटी की चर्चाओं में हिस्सा लिया और अपने विचार रखे। इन चर्चाओं ने विधेयक को और सशक्त बनाने का काम किया है। इस अवसर पर संसदीय समिति को अपना बहुमूल्य सुझाव भेजने वाले अनगिनत लोगों का भी मैं विशेष रूप से आभार व्यक्त करना चाहता हूं। इससे एक बार फिर यह पता चलता है कि व्यापक बहस और संवाद कितना महत्वपूर्ण होता है।
दशकों से वक्फ व्यवस्था में पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही की कमी नजर आ रही थी। इससे मुख्य रूप से हमारी मुस्लिम माताओं-बहनों, गरीब और पसमांदा मुसलमान भाई-बहनों के हितों को बहुत नुकसान हो रहा था। अब संसद द्वारा पारित विधेयक पारदर्शिता को बढ़ाने के साथ-साथ लोगों के अधिकारों की रक्षा में भी मददगार बनेगा।
Namaste India and Happy #WomensDay.
I am Dr. @access_anjlee, founder of @samarthyam Centre for Universal Accessibility. Through PM @narendramodi’s social media handle, which I have the honour of taking over today, I want to ignite a spark of transformation, and seek a call to action- forget labels, forget barriers…lets strengthen Sugamya Bharat and make it an important precursor to a Viksit Bharat.
Let's ensure that every woman, every individual, can navigate their life with dignity and independence. Let us build on the recent gains and improve lives for persons with disabilities.
Here is more about myself- for over three decades, I've worked on universal accessibility and inclusive mobility. These sectors are integral to creating inclusive spaces. Basis my experience of the recent past, I am positive that accessibility and mobility are no longer remaining only in words but have been seamlessly assimilated with other aspects of governance.
#WomensDay
Research and writing are key passions for me, because this is also how we can drive a positive change when it comes to improving the lives of persons with disabilities. Here too, working towards empowering women with disabilities has been very important for me. I conduct extensive training workshops for government and educational institutions to further this goal. I have worked widely in making schools accessible in India. This is vital because, no one must be denied education just because of lack of accessible infrastructure.
A financially empowered woman is a confident decision-maker, independent thinker, architect of her own future and a maker of modern India! And, our nation is taking the lead in building financially empowered women.
I, @Ajaita_Shah, am really delighted to be handling PM @narendramodi Ji’s social media handles on #WomensDay. I am the Founder and CEO of Frontier Markets.
One issue that remained close to my heart was the challenges women face in rural areas. These challenges could be financial, access to infrastructure and more. Thus, I have spent the last two decades to mitigate this. And, I feel proud that not only have I been able to make a difference, I am also seeing many more women rising to the occasion and doing the same.
#WomensDay
In 2011, I founded Frontier Markets with a simple belief that if we support our rural women, no force will stop them from achieving the impossible. Our combined efforts have ensured a powerful network of thousands of women who are becoming self-reliant and giving livelihoods to other women.
It is gladdening that over the last few years, there are very meaningful conversations happening on this subject. With things like bank coverage, social security, access to better healthcare and improved sanitation, women are finding it much easier to pursue their dreams and create value for society.
मैं अनीता देवी, नालंदा जिले के अनन्तपुर गांव की रहने वाली हूं। मैंने जीवन में बड़े संघर्ष देखे हैं। लेकिन मेरा हमेशा से मन था, अपने दम पर कुछ करने का। 2016 में मैंने खुद स्वरोजगार करने का निर्णय लिया था। उसी दौर में स्टार्ट-अप्स का इतना क्रेज बढ़ गया था। इसलिए 9 साल पहले मैंने भी अपनी माधोपुर फार्मर्स प्रोड्यूसर कंपनी लिमिटेड की स्थापना की।

मशरूम उत्पादन से आत्मनिर्भरता की ओर!
आज मशरूम उत्पादन के जरिये मैं अपने परिवार को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए काम कर रही हूं। मैंने ना सिर्फ अपनी राह आसान की है, बल्कि सैकड़ों महिलाओं को रोजगार के अवसर देकर आत्मनिर्भर भी बनाया है। अब मेरी कंपनी किसानों को खाद, बीज और कीटनाशक जैसी जरूरी चीजों को भी सस्ती दरों पर उपलब्ध कराती है। आज इस कंपनी में काम करने वाली सैकड़ों महिलाओं को, आजीविका के साथ स्वाभिमान का जीवन भी मिल रहा है।

मेरी प्रेरणा – महिलाओं को आत्मनिर्भर बनाना!
बिहार सरकार की जीविका परियोजना और राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण आजीविका मिशन (NRLM) की मदद से मैंने मशरूम उत्पादन का प्रशिक्षण लिया था। इसके बाद मैंने सैकड़ों महिलाओं को भी मशरूम की खेती से जोड़ा है। अब मेरा सपना है कि गांव की हर महिला अपने पैरों पर खड़ी हो। अभी जो मखाना बोर्ड की स्थापना का ऐलान हुआ है, उसके बाद मैं मखाने से जुड़े काम के बारे में भी सोच रही हूं।
Space technology, nuclear technology and women empowerment…
We are Elina Mishra, a nuclear scientist and Shilpi Soni, a space scientist and we are thrilled to be helming the PM’s social media properties on #WomensDay.
Our message- India is the most vibrant place for science and thus, we call upon more women to pursue it.
Both of us, Elina and Shilpi are seeing the wide range of opportunities opening up in our respective sectors. It was unimaginable that a sector like nuclear technology would offer so many opportunities for women in India. Similarly, the increasing participation of women and the private sector in the world of space makes India the most happening place to innovate and grow! Indian women surely have the talent and India surely has the right platform!
Read on to know more about our individual work too…

I am Elina Mishra and I hail from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I come from a family with a strong academic background and thus, they created a ripe environment to learn science. My interest and inquisitiveness for science developed due to my father, who is my inspiration and whom I have seen relentlessly working towards his research.
My dream of working in the scientific domain was fulfilled when I was selected in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai.
