Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav envisions a matriarchal revival for India, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for inaugurating a new era of women’s political empowerment. Addressing the state level Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan at Ravindra Bhavan’s Hans Dhvani Auditorium, he proclaimed April 16, 2026, as an “auspicious date” when Parliament debates 33% women’s reservation in Lok Sabha and assemblies. “When governance reins pass to sister’s hands, sensitivity sparks innovation,” he said, likening the moment to “Holi and Diwali together.”
Madhya Pradesh, land of Rani Durgavati and Ahilyabai Holkar whose 300th birth anniversary was celebrated exemplifies this. Urban bodies reserve 50% seats for women, leading over half; 6 women MP’s, 27 MLA’s, and 5 ministers helm key portfolios. Icons like Vijaya Raje Scindia, Sumitra Mahajan, and Sushma Swaraj paved paths; today, President Droupadi Murmu inspires.
The CM urged grassroots awareness for Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, making democracy more inclusive, robust, and empathetic. Minister Sushri Nirmala Bhuria called for cross party support, noting schemes like Maheshwar Cabinet and year long women’s welfare. Minister Smt. Krishna Gaur termed it revolutionary, bridging 14% Lok Sabha and 11% MP Assembly gaps. Educationist Smt. Shobha Paithankar invoked Gita’s feminine virtues and heroines like Savitribai Phule and Jhansi ki Rani.
Board toppers received honors and exhibitions showcased progress. This momentum builds on Laadli Behna successes, ensuring women lead from panchayats to Parliament.
Sustained sensitization will realize Viksit Bharat’s maternal core.
