Women's Rights and Safety Our Top Priority
The New Indian Express Vijayawada
|March 13, 2025
ASSERTING that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has been at the forefront of women's empowerment, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu credited party founder and former chief minister NT Rama Rao for granting women equal property rights.
Participating in a short discussion on women's empowerment in the Assembly on Wednesday, Naidu highlighted various initiatives introduced by TDP governments over the years to support women. He also took a dig at YSRCP president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, claiming that the previous chief minister had denied property rights to his mother and sister.
"In 1986, NTR granted property rights to women, and in 2005, the Centre enacted it as law. Yet, the former chief minister failed to provide property shares to his mother or sister. How can someone who denied his own family their rightful inheritance speak about women's rights? Leadership requires setting an example and being accountable to the people," Naidu asserted.
Emphasising TDP's long-standing commitment to women's empowerment, the Chief Minister said sustainable development is possible only when women are empowered.
"Despite years of independence and global progress, discrimination against women persists. Even in developed nations like the United States, gender equality remains a challenge," he observed.
Naidu stressed that both the NDA government at the Centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh are prioritising women's welfare.

AWESOME TWOSOME IN FEARLESS FILMMAKING
PARNA Sen’s 36 Chowringhee Lane (1981) was a landmark in my formative years as a film buff. I am not sure where I watched it. But what has stayed with me till date are Jennifer Kendal’s eloquent presence as the quiet and secluded Anglo-Indian teacher Violet Stoneham, and Ashok Mehta’s camera that captures the many shades of loss and solitude that imbue the film, and the textures of a fading world it is set in. It was about underscoring the tenuousness of a community as well as the vulnerability of an individual.

An Ayurvedic Apothecary
There's a quiet thrill in stepping onto a trail just as the hills wake up. As you begin your trek through Gold Valley in Maharashtra's Lonavala, the clouds play hide-and-seek. A Blue Mormon flutters past, disappearing into the dense canopy. The loud calls of Indian Grey Hornbills invites you deeper into this pocket of the Sahyadri Hills, on Western Ghats.
