33% Women's Reservation In 2029 Lok Sabha Elections? Centre Begins Preps
New Delhi: The Centre is preparing to implement 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha beginning with the 2029 general elections. This move follows the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, a constitutional amendment bill designed to increase women's representation in national politics, sources have said. The women's reservation provisions will come into effect only after a fresh delimitation of parliamentary constituencies. Currently, there is a statutory freeze on delimitation until 2026. For any delimitation to proceed thereafter, a constitutional amendment will be necessary, requiring approval by both Houses of Parliament. According to sources, necessary preparations are underway to ensure the delimitation exercise can be initiated once the freeze is lifted. A Delimitation Commission will be constituted, and it is expected to visit states, collect representations, and prepare a report before recommending any changes. Southern Concerns Southern states, which have historically performed better on population control, have expressed concerns that a fresh delimitation based on current population figures could reduce their representation in Parliament. According to government sources, their concerns are being taken seriously. Officials have stated that the political participation of southern states will not be compromised. Mechanisms are being considered to ensure that representation remains equitable and that states that have succeeded in population control are not disadvantaged in the new seat-sharing formula. Tech-Driven Census The next census, originally scheduled for 2021 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is now expected to be conducted using advanced technology to expedite the process. According to sources, a mobile application that supports data collection in 16 Indian languages will be used in the census, along with the integration of Aadhaar verification. In addition, the census process will incorporate biometric data collection and artificial intelligence tools.

Women-led development journey under PM Modi's leadership transforming India: Uttarakhand CM Dhami
Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], June 8 (ANI): Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday said that the State is celebrating 11YearsOfSashaktNari--a transformative journey that has empowered crores of daughters, sisters, and mothers across the country, elevating them to new heights of self-confidence, self-reliance, and leadership. He added that this progress is the result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi'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. In a separate incident, earlier today, Dhami said that the state government is committed to the preservation and promotion of literature and culture.
