"The budget announced today has earmarked a substantial ₹3 lakh crore for initiatives aimed at empowering women, such as establishing hostels, creches, and enhancing skilling programs. The recent 12.1% increase in new female EPFO members and a 17.2% rise in net female additions in May 2024 highlights the government's commitment to fostering gender diversity and bolstering women's participation in the workforce. These measures are pivotal in creating an inclusive economy where women are empowered to achieve their full potential, reinforcing our resolve to build a society where every individual can thrive and contribute meaningfully."
