In a commitment to protect, respect, and make women self-reliant, the Yogi Adityanath government has rolled out many special programmes under Mission Shakti across the state.
The Women’s Welfare department will organise a state-level ‘JAGRUK Media Advocacy’ workshop in collaboration with CFAR Organisation on April 25.
Under this programme, awareness will be generated among the masses about departmental schemes such as Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana, Widow Pension, and Bal Sewa Yojana. They will also be made aware of the various laws and provisions related to violence against women and children.
“The department has been asked to prepare an action plan to ensure all the women of the state get the benefits of various schemes and live their lives with dignity and respect in a safe environment,” a government spokesman said.
It may be mentioned here that many special programmes to educate people against harassment of women and children, domestic violence, drug abuse, trafficking, child marriage, discrimination, child labour, and any other kind of exploitations have also been organised by the department.
During the last tenure of the Yogi government, women were connected with various beneficial schemes in the first, second and third phases of Mission Shakti. In the third phase, the Women and Child Development department and Child Development Services and Nutrition department spread awareness among over 28.32 lakh people in just four months till December 2021.
So far, over 10 crore people have been made aware of Mission Shakti across the state.
