International Women's Day: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday signed-off from his social media accounts and handed it over to "seven women achievers" of the country who will share their life's journeys through his accounts throughout the day. He also saluted the Nari Shakti through a series of tweet.
In a series of tweet, PM Modi said, "Greetings on International Women’s Day! We salute the spirit and accomplishments of our Nari Shakti. As I’d said a few days ago, I’m signing off. Through the day, seven women achievers will share their life journeys and perhaps interact with you through my social media accounts."
"India has outstanding women achievers in all parts of the nation. These women have done great work in a wide range of sectors. Their struggles and aspirations motivate millions. Let us keep celebrating the achievements of such women and learning from them," he added.
