"The double engine government is always with the women power in the form of a 'security cover'. Your progress, development and your empowerment is our commitment," the CM said.
The National Girl Child Day, celebrated every year on January 24 in India, is a significant occasion dedicated to highlighting the rights, education and welfare of girls.
Initiated in 2008, by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, the day aims to raise awareness about the importance of empowering girls and creating an environment where they can thrive without the barriers of gender discrimination.
The United Nations observes October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognise girls' rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.
