President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday praised Haryana for presenting the best examples of women empowerment for the entire country. The President, who is on a two-day visit to Haryana, interacted directly with the doctors, ASHA workers, and ANMs associated with the State’s revolutionary ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ campaign on Wednesday.
The President also interacted with women sportspersons of the State during a programme organized at Haryana Raj Bhavan, in the presence of Governor Bandaru Dattatreya and Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
“Daughters are the embodiment of power. Every family should cooperate in taking daughters forward in every field so that they become empowered and continue to increase their contribution in every field. The way the daughters of Haryana have raised the pride of their families and state on the global stage in the sports field is one of the best examples of women empowerment,” said the President.
She added, “If men and women walk together, the family, society, and country will progress. However, women face more challenges in their life than men, so it is the responsibility of the family, society, and government to nurture and empower the girl child.”
Praising the Governor and the Chief Minister for the successful implementation of the ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ campaign in Haryana, the President hoped that the State will continue to boost the morale of its daughters by taking such revolutionary steps.
While interacting with the ASHA workers, doctors, and sportspersons, the President said that she feels happy to share experiences with them.
Women Sportspersons Should be Brand Ambassadors of BBBP Campaign
The President also interacted directly with women sportspersons and learned about their life experiences. During this, mountaineer Anita Kundu from Hisar district, who hoisted the tricolour three times on Mount Everest and the highest peaks of the seven continents, shared her life experiences. She told how her mother supported her after her father's death and today achieved this height today. The Haryana government also gave full support to her. Similarly, Pooja Sihag and Suchika also shared their success stories.
The President said that the Chief Minister should ensure that whenever the team on the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign visits to make a family aware, it should also be ensured that such families should meet eminent women sportspersons so that they can be made to believe that daughters are pride, not a burden.
