NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that as India progresses further, the aspirations and contributions of women will continue to guide India's collective journey towards a strong and prosperous nation.
He also shared how women are now breaking away from the stereotypes by entering a profession that was considered "not for women".
"The achievements of India's Nari Shakti are a source of pride and a powerful reminder of the transformative role in nation-building. As India progresses further, the aspirations and contributions of women will continue to guide our collective journey towards a strong and prosperous nation, " PM Modi said in a post on X.
He also shared a thread post by the MyGovIndia, the official X account of the Indian government, which showcased how women have stepped into the professions that were earlier considered "not for women".
"Today, women across India are redefining those boundaries by leading in defence, science, entrepreneurship, governance and innovation. Just see how perceptions around women's roles are evolving across sectors, " the post read.
"The idea that defence is not meant for women is fading fast. Across India's armed forces and defence institutions, women are stepping into roles once considered impossible, proving that courage, leadership and commitment know no gender, " it added.
Once considered a "male domain", the post mentioned that aviation is now seeing women take the controls across the country and with one of the highest shares of women commercial pilots globally, India is setting a powerful example for gender representation in aviation.
"The factory floor is no longer defined by old stereotypes. Women are increasingly becoming part of India's industrial workforce, contributing across sectors that power the country's infrastructure and manufacturing strength, " it added.
