The Prime Minister emphasised that a huge difference between the India of the last century and the new India of this century has come as a representation of "our Nari Shakti". "In today's new India, from Panchayat Bhawan to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the flag of women power is flying," he said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
The Sammelan witnessed the attendance of thousands of women SHG members and community resource persons that are being promoted under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM).

"Our government is working continuously to create new possibilities for women entrepreneurs in the village economy. Through 'One District, One Product' we are trying to take local products from every district to big markets," the Prime Minister added.
