Raipur, 04 November 2020. Governor Ms. Anusuiya Uike attended a webinar organized by the Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekananda Technical University, Bhilai on the topic of women empowerment at Raj Bhavan today. Addressing the webinar, she said that women should be encouraged to become self-sufficient. Women who have been empowered and made a place in society should inspire our daughters to move forward.
The Governor said that India is the country where mother has always been revered, with time many evils also came into Indian society, but when India became independent, awareness came with the spread of education and efforts to remove social evils. Began to be done. A separate department was created by the government for the welfare of women, through which many welfare schemes started running. As a result many women started coming forward with self-motivation. Today women are moving forward in all fields.
If we talk about Chhattisgarh, women are coming forward from Bastar to Surguja and doing good work by forming self-help groups, they are becoming financially self-reliant. The women of Balud village of Bastar region Dantewada are doing small business and also doing organic farming by getting financial assistance through the new Disha Self Help Group.
In Ambikapur town of Surguja, through self-help groups, women are going door-to-door and collecting garbage and contributing to the cleanliness mission started by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. At the same time, women from village Changaro in Balrampur-Ramanujganj district of the northern end of northern Chhattisgarh, through self-help groups, are cultivating cumin flower paddy and operating a mini rice mill. The demand for cumin flower rice produced by these groups is widespread.
It is the hallmark of our women’s empowerment that Phulbasan Yadav got the opportunity to appear in the TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Urging the society to be awakened to the crime against women, the Governor said that first of all, children in the family should be taught respect for women. If such feelings come from her childhood, then crime against women can be reduced significantly. On this occasion, Vice Chancellor of Swami Vivekananda Technical University, Bhilai, Dr. M.K. Verma, Member of Parliament Mrs. Chhaya Verma, Chairperson of Chhattisgarh State Commission for Women, Mrs. Kiranmayi Nayak, Member of Parliament from Lok Sabha, Mrs. Jyotsna Mahant and Professor were present.
