He recognized the Goa government's ongoing endeavors to support women's empowerment, offering support to initiatives enhancing respect and opportunities for women.

Prime Minister Modi's policies received high praise from Sawant, who credited Modi's leadership for significant societal changes benefiting women.

Many women attributed their economic successes to Modi's policies, aspiring for even greater financial milestones, potentially transitioning from 'Lakhpati Didis' to 'Crorepati Didis'.

On Women's Day, Modi paid homage to 'Nari Shakti', highlighting women's contributions in India. He emphasized the government's focus on women's empowerment through innovative schemes, promising digital platforms to showcase women's impactful stories, demonstrating their influence in diverse fields.
