's visionary leadership and effective governance, which not only aims to empower Nari Shakti but also recognizes it as a central pillar of nation-building, according to a CMO statement..
Highlighting various flagship initiatives of the Central government over the last 11 years, Dhami said that from Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao, Ujjwala Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Nari Shakti Vandan Act, providing pucca houses to women, Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Namo Drone Didi, Stand Up India, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Matritva Vandana Yojana to the appointment of women in military services, increasing participation of women in every field and political representation - in these 11 years, women have got respect, opportunity and rights on every front.
"Today, India's daughters are not just dreamers, but achievers. They are flying in the sky, guarding the borders, making strides in science and playing pivotal roles in democratic leadership," Dhami said.
The Chief Minister said that this change was possible not only by schemes but by the faith of a public leader who believes that India will develop only when the daughters of the country are empowered.
"This is not empowerment but the dedication of the Prime Minister to take forward half of India's population and put them on the front line of nation-building," he added.

Trump spares India tariff threat missive as he unloads on allies Japan and South Korea
Donald Trump TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump on Monday said Washington is close to clinching a trade deal with India even as he lowered the boom on more than a dozen countries including close allies, while sparing New Delhi. Trump sounded optimistic about an agreement with New Delhi, telling reporters, "We are close to making a deal with India," while repeating his incessant claim that he had stopped an all-out war between India and Pakistan by threatening to cut off access to US markets. Neither country has attributed their truce to tariff threats, but the US President obsessively cites that to illustrate the use of trade as an instrument of American power. On Monday, Trump, by most accounts, brought a wrecking ball to global trade with a tirade against much of the world, which in his view has been ripping of the USA. Fourteen countries, rich and poor, big and small, allies and adversaries, were slammed with tariff warnings ranging from 40 percent to 25 percent unless they negotiated bilateral deals before August 1. India faces the same deadline without the almost identical sloppily-written letters Trump sent to 14 countries, although that could change any time given the US President's mercurial approach to strategic ties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo New Delhi has bought time mainly on account of protracted trade talks that have been going on for several months and are said to be in an advanced state. India has pledged to buy loads of American arms, energy, and other produce to whittle down the $ 45 billion trade deficit while at the same time seeking to protect its fragile agriculture sector that provides a livelihood to more than half its population. While the negotiating window is now narrow, there is no sign that India will throw in the towel, even as Trump prepares to throw the kitchen sink, as he did on Monday with long time allies Japan and South Korea, both slammed with around 25 per cent tariffs. In letters riddled with random capitalisation and poor grammar and syntax, Trump told the prime minister of Japan, a US treaty ally, that the trade surplus Tokyo has run up against Washington constituted a "major threat" to US national security. Identical letters citing threat to US national security was sent to leaders of Bosnia & Herzogovina (whose female President Zeljka Cvijanović was addressed as Mr President), Cambodia and Bangladesh, which have small trade surpluses with Washington with exports in the paltry billions. Trump and his team also dialled down expectations of "90 deals in 90 days" that they had talked up at the start of the tariff war the US President initiated. Having negotiated only a framework for three sketchy agreements, Trump indicated most other countries would simply get a letter intimating them of tariff increases if they don't conclude an agreement by August 1. "It's all done," he maintained, even as aides acknowledged that instead of the White House phones "ringing off the hook" as they anticipated, many countries had not even contacted them.

Elon Musk's new ‘America party' is ‘hurting' his company; Tesla Bull Dan Ives says, ‘Very simply…'
Tesla stock fell approximately 7% after the EV-making company's CEO, Elon Musk, announced his plans to form a new political party. This decline cost the company 68 billion in a day to become the most significant single-day drop since June 5, when it experienced a 14% decrease during Musk's public dispute with US President Donald Trump. Last week, Musk stated that the proposed party would be named the 'America Party.' He suggested it could focus on securing 'just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,' aiming to serve as a deciding vote on contentious legislation and ensure it aligns with "the true will of the people." Read what Tesla Bull Dan Ives said about Elon Musk's political involvement In a recently published research note by Tesla bull Dan Ives (seen by CBS MoneyWatch), the investor explained: 'Very simply, Musk diving deeper into politics and now trying to take on the Beltway establishment is exactly the opposite direction that Tesla investors/shareholders want him to take during this crucial period for the Tesla story. While the core Musk supporters will back Musk at every turn, no matter what, there is a broader sense of exhaustion from many Tesla investors that Musk keeps heading down the political track.' Musk's decision to launch the America Party comes at a challenging moment for Tesla. The company's electric vehicle sales dropped by over 13% between April and June compared to the same period last year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo In Europe, sales plunged nearly 50% in April, despite overall growth in the region's electric vehicle market, as per data released in May by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. Musk's involvement in politics has previously raised concerns among investors. Earlier this year, his close work with the Trump administration on the 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE) was seen by some as potentially detrimental to Tesla's brand image. He distanced himself from DOGE in May, a move that had a positive impact on Tesla's stock. However, his renewed involvement in politics is now causing concern among investors.

PIL in SC seeks electoral roll revision across country
New Delhi: In response to petitions filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Election Commission of India 's (ECI) decision to conduct a special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, a public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed seeking a direction to the poll panel to undertake similar exercises across the country at regular intervals, particularly before elections, to ensure that only Indian citizens cast their vote and not illegal foreign infiltrators. The PIL, filed by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay, argued that the demographic profile of 200 districts and 1,500 tehsils has changed since Independence, owing to what he terms "massive illegal infiltration, deceitful religious conversions and population explosion". According to the petitioner, a nationwide special intensive revision is essential for free and fair elections. "It is very surprising that various petitions have been filed before this court praying for setting aside or quashing the ECI's order on the ground of violation of Articles 14, 19, 21, 325, 326 of the Constitution and provisions of the Representation of the People Act and the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. Petitioner submits that the special intensive revision exercise, rather than being violative of the aforesaid provisions, is a timely and necessary exercise aimed at ensuring purity, accuracy, and integrity of the electoral rolls and universal adult enfranchisement," he said in his petition. Upadhyay argued that even marginal discrepancies, as few as 2,000 to 3,000 votes, can sway election outcomes in an assembly constituency, and therefore, regular and robust revision of rolls is required. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo "If not conducted, the integrity of elections, and the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution, would be jeopardised," he said. The petition highlighted that Bihar, along with Assam, West Bengal and Jharkhand, is reported to have witnessed large-scale illegal immigration, particularly from Bangladesh. "Parts of Bihar, especially the Seemanchal region adjoining West Bengal and Nepal, are said to have seen an asymmetric growth in population. The region, comprising four districts, is not far from the Siliguri corridor or 'Chicken's Neck', where Bangladeshi territory juts in," the petition stated. "The Seemanchal region, which is also considered the most backward in Bihar, has a 47% Muslim population, as against Bihar's state-wide average of 18%, due to massive illegal infiltration," it claimed. "Special intensive revision assumes significance as it seeks to operationalise and give effect to the constitutional and statutory mandate of ensuring that only Indians are enrolled as electors, by enabling verification of citizenship, a qualification that lies at the very core of the right to vote," the petition stated. "Thus, it should be made a recurring exercise and conducted nationwide at regular intervals. "
