NEW DELHI:
Empowering women is essential for empowering the entire humanity and many steps are being taken in this regard, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said here today.
Addressing a function, he explained that empowering a man may sometimes remain limited to empowerment of a single individual but empowerment of a woman leads to empowerment of entire family.
“Empowering women is essential for empowering the entire humanity,” the Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office said addressing a workshop on women empowerment at the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) here.
“While appropriate legislations for safety of women in workplace are envisaged every now and then, what is equally important is that there should be a work-friendly environment where not only woman enjoys performing to the best of her potential but also experiences enhancement of self-esteem through her work,” he said.
Singh referred to a number of innovative measures adopted by the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) with a special focus on the well being of women officials, but said, there is still much more required to be done. (AGENCIES)
