Ahead of International Women’s Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a special initiative to highlight the achievements of Indian women. On March 8, he will hand over his social media accounts, including X and Instagram, to a select group of inspiring women. These women will use the platform to share their experiences, challenges, and contributions with the nation.
A Platform for Women’s Voices
During the 119th episode of Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi shared details of this unique initiative. He stated, “This time, on Women’s Day, I am going to take an initiative which will be dedicated to our women’s power. On this special occasion, I am going to hand over my social media accounts like X and Instagram, to a few inspiring women in our country for one day.”
He emphasized that these women have excelled in different fields through innovation and hard work. “The platform may be mine, but their experiences, challenges, and achievements will be discussed there,” he added.
Invitation for Participation
PM Modi encouraged women to take part in this initiative through the NAMO App. He urged them to use this opportunity to spread their message worldwide. “If you want this opportunity to be yours, then through the special forum created on the NAMO App, become a part of this experiment and spread your message to the whole world through my X and Instagram accounts. So on this Women’s Day, let us celebrate and respect the indomitable power of women,” he said.
India’s Growing Role in AI
In the same address, PM Modi praised India’s advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI). He mentioned that during his recent visit to Paris for a major AI conference, India’s progress in this sector received significant global appreciation.
He also highlighted a unique example from Telangana, where a government school teacher, Thodasam Kailash, is using AI to preserve tribal languages. “His interest in digital song and music is helping us preserve our tribal languages. He has done a great job by composing a song in the Kolami Language by using AI tools. He is using AI to create songs in many languages other than Kolami. His tracks are being liked a lot by our tribal brothers and sisters on social media,” PM Modi shared.
He further noted that India is witnessing a technological revolution, with young people actively embracing AI and space technology. “People of India are second to none in adopting and using new technologies,” he emphasized.
This initiative, along with India’s technological strides, reflects the country’s commitment to empowering women and driving innovation.
