On International Women's Day, six accomplished women from diverse fields took over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Twitter handle to share their inspiring journeys of empowerment and achievement.

The initiative highlighted the contributions of women in sectors such as farming, sports, and science and technology. These women included Vaishali Ramesh-babu from Chennai, Dr. Anjlee Agarwal from Delhi, Anita Devi from Nalanda, Elina Mishra from Bhubaneswar, Ajaita Shah from Rajasthan, and Shilpi Soni from Sagar.

This initiative mirrors a similar effort from 2020 when seven women achievers took over PM Modi's social media accounts to share their remarkable success stories.

Elina Mishra, a nuclear scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), expressed her gratitude for her family's academic influence. "My interest and inquisitiveness for science developed due to my father, who is my inspiration," wrote Mishra.
