Indian industry on Sunday lauded the government for establishing the 'Alliance for Global Good- Gender Equity and Equality' announced on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting 2024 here.
The idea of this alliance emerged from the G20 Leaders' Declaration and India's abiding commitment to the cause of women-led development as propounded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
As a follow up to the activities of the Engagement Group and initiatives under the G20 framework, inter alia, the Business 20, Women 20 and G20 EMPOWER, this alliance aims at taking forward the commitments of the G20 leaders for the benefit of the larger global community, the government said while announcing the alliance.
Lauding the initiative, apex industry chamber CII's president R Dinesh said, "The leadership of India for women empowerment during its Presidency of G20 was well recognized and the launch of the 'Alliance for Global Good - Gender Equity and Equality' at Davos is yet another opportunity for us to converge stakeholders to make the world a better place for women."
"We in corporate India are excited to partner with governments and companies across the globe to promote Gender Equality and strengthen Women Leadership," he added.
"The launch is a purposeful initiative with the participation of key stakeholders," said CII.
