On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi honoured ‘Nari Shakti’ and reaffirmed his government’s dedication to women’s empowerment through various initiatives.

He also reiterated that women achievers from different fields would take over his social media accounts for the day.

"We bow to our Nari Shakti on #WomensDay! Our government has always worked for empowering women, reflecting in our schemes and programmes. Today, as promised, my social media properties will be taken over by women who are making a mark in diverse fields," Modi said in a post on X.

However, this isn’t the first time that women achievers would be taking over the Prime Minister’s social media accounts.

On International Women's Day in 2020, Modi's social media accounts were operated by seven women achievers, providing them a global platform to inspire others.
