Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the passage of the women’s reservation bill in Parliament’s new building has heralded a new future for the country, asserting that it is his government’s policy to open news doors for girls.

The dreams of new India are big, he said, noting that presence of girls is increasing from space to sports. They (women) are now being commissioned into the armed forces, he added.

Addressing a Rozgar Mela after distribution of appointment letters to over 51,000 new employees in different government departments through a virtual event, the PM also emphasised on growing use of technology in governance.

Modi said his government works with a new mindset based on constant monitoring, mission mode implementation and mass participation in government schemes with an aim of 100% saturation in their reach.

This is a time of historic decisions and achievements for the country, he said, adding that the women’s reservation bill, passed by Parliament recently, will give a big boost to the country’s 50% population.

The issue, which was pending for 30 years, has been passed by record votes in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Modi said.
