Congress President Kharge Unveils “Nari Nyay Guarantee” for Women Empowerment
In a bid to appeal to women voters, the Congress party has introduced its ambitious “Nari Nyay
Guarantee,” promising financial aid of ₹1 lakh annually to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This initiative encompasses five key components: ‘Mahalaxmi,’ ‘Aadhi Aabadi Poora Haq,’ ‘Shakti Ka Sammaan,’ ‘Adhikar Maitri,’ and ‘Savitribai Phule Hostel.’
Under the “Aadhi Aabadi Poora Haq” initiative, women will secure rights to half of all new recruitments at the central government level, as stated by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in a video message. Additionally, “Shakti Ka Sammaan” aims to double the central government’s contribution to the monthly income of Anganwadi, ASHA, and midday meal workers.
To foster awareness of women’s rights, Congress plans to deploy paralegal professionals in every panchayat, tasked with educating and assisting women in navigating legal frameworks effectively, Kharge elaborated.
Furthermore, the party pledges to address the pressing need for safe and affordable accommodation for working women by constructing at least one hostel for them at every district headquarters.
Kharge emphasized the party’s track record of fulfilling promises since its inception in 1926, contrasting it with the birth of its opponents. He underscored the commitment of the Congress to uphold democracy and the Constitution, urging supporters to strengthen the party’s resolve.
In a separate development, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently outlined five major electoral promises targeting young voters. These include ensuring apprenticeships for all degree/diploma holders with a stipend of ₹1 lakh per year and filling 30 lakh vacant positions in the central government within a specified timeline.
Gandhi highlighted the success of initiatives like MNREGA and expressed confidence that the proposed schemes would similarly benefit the populace.
