“Karnal’s Antyodaya Mahasammelan Shines a Light on Haryana’s Strides in Gender Equality & Empowering Society”

New Delhi, November 2 – The Manohar Lal-led government of Haryana marked the 57th anniversary of Haryana Day with a momentous celebration, the Antyodaya Mahasammelan, held in the city of Karnal. This event served as a testament to the state’s unwavering commitment to uplifting the marginalized sections of society and promoting gender equality as fundamental pillars of progress.

The Antyodaya Mahasammelan, graced by the presence of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, underscored the government’s resolute dedication to realizing the Antyodaya vision of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, which places inclusive development at its core. An inspiring aspect of this event was the recognition of the pivotal role that women play in this vision, as five out of the 17 entrances to the Mahasammelan were exclusively designated for women, highlighting their active and significant participation in the state’s development.

Karnal, a city steeped in history as the epicenter of the Green Revolution, is now embracing a transition towards what is being hailed as the White Revolution, focusing on dairy and animal husbandry. The district is making remarkable strides in the cooperative sector, symbolized by the grand inauguration of an Agro Mall transformed into an HAFED Export House, a momentous event presided over by Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah.

The Antyodaya Mahasammelan did not just champion social service but also provided an essential platform for the empowerment of women. This reflects the unwavering commitment of Chief Minister Manohar Lal to fostering inclusive development and gender equality in the state. His relentless efforts have yielded remarkable progress in women’s representation within Panchayati Raj Institutions, with more than 50 percent of these institutions now boasting the active participation of educated women.

Under his visionary leadership, Haryana has witnessed a positive transformation in gender ratios, and the daughters of the state are shining brightly in diverse fields, breaking down barriers and stereotypes. The Antyodaya Mahasammelan serves as a significant turning point in societal attitudes towards women in Haryana, setting a remarkable example for broader societal progress towards gender equality and empowerment. This event shattered traditional stereotypes and illuminated a path toward a more inclusive and promising future for the state and the nation at large. It stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment of Haryana’s government to ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey towards progress and prosperity.
