"On Women's Day, I salute our Nari Shakti and their accomplishments in diverse fields. The Government of India will keep focusing on women empowerment through its various schemes with an emphasis on dignity as well as opportunity," the Prime Minister said in a tweet.



He further said that the government's efforts for women will continue with even greater vigour.

These efforts will continue with even greater vigour in the coming times," he added.
