2) Those who are already strong and empowered do not need empowerment.

5) We've had many foreign ministers but everybody knows about the outstanding work done by Sushma Swaraj.

6) Budgets and infrastructure don't only strengthen nations. Every citizen of India strengthens the nation and a mother strengthens a citizen.

7) Women can adapt better to technology. Through the Narendra Modi App and MyGov I have received so many enriching thoughts and views.

8) The Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha should discuss at how we can make an e-platform for women to empower them.

9) I don't know if someone has done a survey yet, but I think success ratio of women who got opportunities compared to that of men, will be higher.
