During the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Sammelan' at Vigyan Bhawan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a compelling case for the time-bound implementation of women’s reservation in Indian legislatures, targeting 2029 for rollout. He described this initiative as one of the most consequential decisions of the 21st century, aimed at translating gender equality into institutional reality. Modi highlighted that the proposed Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam represents a culmination of decades of political consensus and aligns governance with social justice. A special session of Parliament from April 16 to 18 will focus on the roadmap for implementation, emphasizing the urgency of operationalizing the law. Modi pointed out the historical significance of this moment, stating that leaving a passed law unimplemented would be unacceptable. He advocated for a shift from 'women's development' to 'women-led development', where women play a central role in decision-making. Modi cited existing statistics, such as nearly 50% representation of women in local governance, to support his argument for increased women's participation in politics, which he believes will lead to more sensitive governance. If successfully implemented, this reform is expected to significantly alter India's political landscape by structurally increasing women's representation in legislative bodies.
