PM Modi was virtually addressing the All India Presiding Officers’ Conference.
“Only last year, the Parliament approved the ‘Narishakti Vandan Adhiniyam’. Such suggestions should also be discussed at this conference, which will increase the efforts and representation of women’s empowerment,” PM Modi said.
“In a young country like Bharat, discussion should be held on increasing the youth participation in the legislative bodies,” he added.
The Prime Minister further said that the states and the state assemblies play a huge role in shaping the goals of the country.
