Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that no society can become capable (‘samarth’) and strong (‘shashakt’) by ignoring half of the population.
Addressing the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ programme organised at Babu Upraudh Inter College ground in Mirzapur on Monday, Adityanath said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised that half of the population should get full respect at any cost. The state government is fulfilling his resolve through various schemes.
On this occasion, the UP chief minister inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 660 projects worth Rs 202 crore for the district, the UP government said in a statement.
Adityanath said, “No society can become capable and strong by ignoring half of the population. This was made clear by Prime Minister Modi, the architect of the new India, in 2014 when he launched the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme.
