PRIME Minister Narendra Modi, during his monthly radio broadcast 'Mann Ki Baat' on Sunday, informed the nation of an initiative dedicated to 'Nari Shakti' (women's power) on International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8 every year.
"On this special occasion, I am going to hand over my social media accounts like X and Instagram to some inspiring women of the country. Women who have achieved success in various fields; who have innovated and created a unique identity for themselves," he said.
The women handling his social media accounts would share their work and experiences with the nation. "The platform may be mine, but it will be about their experiences, their challenges, and their achievements. If you wish to be a part of this opportunity, join the special Forum created on the Namo App. This Women's Day, let us all celebrate, honour, and salute the indomitable power of women," Modi said.
