Raipur, March 2026 : Women and Child Development Minister Mrs. Lakshmi Rajwade has extended her heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all mothers, sisters, and daughters of the state on the occasion of International Women’s Day, which is observed on March 8.

Mrs. Rajwade said that International Women’s Day is a celebration of the strength, courage, and achievements of women.

Along with this, women are moving forward toward self-employment and entrepreneurship through self-help groups and the Chhattisgarh State Rural Livelihood Mission ‘Bihan’.

The Women and Child Development Minister said that the state government is also effectively implementing several schemes for women’s health, nutrition, education, and safety to ensure that women receive a safe and dignified environment.

Mrs. Rajwade appealed to society to provide daughters with the same education, opportunities, and encouragement as sons. She said that only when women become educated, capable, and self-reliant will it be possible to build a strong, equitable, and developed society.
