Towards a Developed India 2047 Through Equal Participation – Sarojini Nagar Sets the Example
Lucknow With the sentiment “Empowered Women = Empowered India”, Sarojini Nagar MLA Dr. Rajeshwar Singh Ji issued a powerful message on the social media platform X on Wednesday. In his message, Dr. Singh said that when women progress, India rises.
* According to the World Bank, if women in India enter the workforce at the same rate as men, India’s GDP could increase by 27%.
* Yet today, only 41% of women are active in the workforce (PLFS 2023).
“The awakening of Matrushakti is the greatest engine of India’s progress.” — Dr. Rajeshwar Singh
*Self-Reliant Women = Self-Reliant India*
* According to an ILO report, when a woman earns, spending on family education increases by up to 90%.
* Dr. Rajeshwar Singh emphasized that working mothers not only support their families but also build the nation’s social capital.
*“When a mother earns, her children’s dreams take flight.” – Dr. Rajeshwar Singh*
*Sarojini Nagar — A National Example of Women Empowerment*
Under the leadership of Dr. Rajeshwar Singh, Sarojini Nagar has transformed the women’s self-reliance model into a mass movement:
* At 160 Tarashakti Centres, thousands of women are becoming self-reliant through stitching, embroidery, designing and micro-entrepreneurship.
* In 14 RBS Digital Empowerment Centres, girls are learning AI, Coding and English Communication.
* The Sarojini Nagar Sports League with the 8 championship has sparked a new wave of confidence among young women.
*“This is not just development; it is a social renaissance.” – Dr. Rajeshwar Singh*
*Education, Skills and Sports — The Three Wings of Matrushakti*
Dr. Singh said that government initiatives have provided new direction and opportunities to girls:
Scholarships and cycle distribution have enabled lakhs of girls to reach schools.
In Sarojini Nagar, more than 700 meritorious girls have been provided laptops and bicycles, sending a strong message that “hard work is honour.”
*Digital & AI Empowerment – Daughters Building a New India*
* At the RBS Digital Empowerment Centres, girls are now learning Python, AI and Data Analytics.
* Under the “Digital Sarojini Nagar” model, more than 14 digital libraries serve over 500 children every day.
*“If our daughters become digital leaders in the age of AI, India will lead the world.” — Dr. Rajeshwar Singh*
*From Data to Evidence – India’s Wave of Transformation*
* Female labour participation rate: 23.3% (2017) → 41.7% (2023)
* Rural female participation: 24.6% → 47.6%
* Women in self-employment: 51.9% → 67.4%
These figures show that women are no longer confined by boundaries- they are rewriting history.
*From Every Panchayat to Every Institution – Commitment to Equal Participation*
Dr. Singh said,
“This is the time to move from ‘permission’ to ‘participation’. Equal representation of women in every panchayat, office and institution is the true meaning of Atmanirbhar Bharat, Viksit Bharat and Digital Bharat.”
*Towards the Future The Role of Women in Viksit Bharat 2047*
India has the world’s youngest population.
If every daughter receives opportunities in education, employment and entrepreneurship, India can become not only Viksit Bharat, but also Vishva Guru Bharat by 2047.
*“When half the population shoulders half the responsibility, India achieves its full flight.” — Dr. Rajeshwar Singh*
*Conclusion :*
Sarojini Nagar today sends out a powerful message, “When women work, families rise;
and when millions of women work, India stands tall before the world.”
