s many as 7000 CC cameras are installed for the safety of women under the Safe City project,and the government is committed to providing empowerment, education, health, and safety to women,said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking at a function organized on behalf of Vijayavani and Digvijaya News on the occasion of International Women’s day and the distribution of awards here on Wednesday,he said the government has implemented several programs to encourage women such as financial assistance for two women SHGs in each village,training and marketing facilities for their products,providing nutritious food to women working in fields and starting 4000 Anganwadis for the children of women workers.
Besides,Rs.1,000 per woman who works in the field will be given every month.
Rs.1800 crore women SHGs
He said last year,the government implemented Raitha Vidya Nidhi,and this year,they are implementing a free bus pass for students and working women,free education for girl students from PU up to a degree,Rs. 1800 crore loan to women SHGs at zero percent interest.
Women have a lot of challenges in society and facing them will help them to achieve something.The women achievers identified by the organizers have been the real unsung heroes and their achievements will inspire others.
“Vijayavani newspaper has never lagged in managing its social responsibility and it has been giving awards to women in the field of agriculture,education,and employment.
The awards received from any newspaper will be having some importance and it’s like a critics award”.
Banish gender inequality
Bommai said the role of a woman in a man’s life is very big as it starts from a relationship to achievement.For this reason,International Day of Women is celebrated.
Not a day passes without a woman.It is a pre-birth relationship as a mother keeps a baby in their tummy for nine months and allows it to come into this world.
Understanding this will teach us how to respect mothers.Unfortunately,many people are not aware that the continuity of mankind depends on her.
Development is not possible if the administrator is not aware of it.In the 12th century,Basavnna made a social revolution for social and gender equality,and they will say Basavanna is still relevant.
Accordingly, his preachings of Social and Gender equality are relevant to date.
Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje, film actress Sapthami Gowda, Vijayavani Editor Channegowda, Assistant Editor Rudranna Hurthikoti, and VRL Managing Director Shiva Sankeshwar were present.
