Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated that in Indian culture, women are regarded as symbols of strength and power. The bravery and abilities of figures like Rani Lakshmi Bai, Devi Ahilya, and Rani Durgavati continue to inspire us today. The blessings and good wishes of sisters have always brought good fortune to their brothers. Acknowledging the vital role of women in society, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has ensured 33 percent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha.
