Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare  Narendra Singh Tomar said that under the leadership of Chief Minister  Shivraj Singh Chouhan the state government has taken revolutionary steps for women empowerment along with bringing Madhya Pradesh from the category of sickly state to developed states. Due to these steps initiated by the state government, there has been a remarkable improvement in the male to female sex ratio in the state. Empowerment of the country is impossible without women empowerment. Keeping this in mind, the central and state governments have made effective schemes for the welfare of women. Prime Minister  Narendra Modi and Chief Minister  Chouhan demonstrate on the ground what they say. The work done towards the social and economic empowerment of women confirms this.

Union Civil Aviation and Steel Minister  Jyotiraditya Scindia said that the central and state governments have worked to advance women power, so that women power can decide the path of their own progress.

He said that Gwalior is changing. Here a thousand bed hospital, construction of international level airport and railway station, elevated road, Chambal project for drinking water, etc. are taking shape.  Scindia also underlined the changes brought about by other schemes including Ayushman card, Ujjwala Yojana, door-to-door toilet and Jal Jeevan Mission established by the government to provide tap water to every household.
