Prime Minister Narendra Modi has described the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ (Women’s Reservation Bill), introduced in 2023, as a significant step for the 21st century. He stated that this Act was passed unanimously by all political parties, a fact that underscores the nation’s commitment to women’s empowerment. This legislation fulfills the long-felt need—spanning decades—for reserving seats for women within democratic structures.

He reiterated that the need to provide reservations for women within democratic frameworks has been a recognized imperative for decades. He further added that India’s ‘Nari Shakti’ (women's power) has made immense contributions to the nation’s development.
