In the evening, the Prime Minister attended an event in Kutch to honour the contributions of women saints to our society. The event is being held to honour the role of female saints in society and their contributions to women's liberation. The Seminar in Dhordo, Kutch, will draw around 500 women saints.
Sessions on culture, religion, female empowerment, security, social standing, and the role of women in Indian culture will be held throughout the seminar. The welfare systems of the central and state governments that support women, as well as women's achievements, will be highlighted.
Over the last several years, the Government of India has implemented several schemes aimed at providing women with their due social dignity and earning opportunities.
