Now that nothing sort of that system of governance is persisting anywhere and people’s trust in Government stands restored. A number of schemes have especially been floated for women only and that is the reason women folk are able to live a dignified life and pursue their studies and careers in any field they desire and deem fit for them.
Appreciating Vistaraks and other party functionaries for their efforts to reach out to masses and highlight the programmes and policies of BJP in every nook and corner of the State, Sethi said that no society or nation can flourish without the contribution of women and Kashmir has remained witness to great achievements of women in almost every field.
