Hyderabad, Nov 19 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy paid tributes to the first woman Prime Minister of India, Bharat Ratna Indira Gandhi on the occasion of her birth anniversary, here on Monday.
The Chief Minister extended greetings to all the people on the occasion of ‘National integration Day’ which is being observed to commemorate Indira Gandhi’s birth anniversary on Tuesday.
The CM praised ‘Iron Lady’ Indira Gandhi for continuing Nehru’s legacy of a strong leadership and introducing a slew of revolutionary reforms which benefited the people of the country.
Reddy remembered that Indira Gandhi made special efforts for the upliftment of the poor and women. Inspired by Indira Gandhi’s words that ‘Women are the symbols of Indian strength’, the Telangana government is also giving top priority to women empowerment, the CM said.
The Chief Minister said that promoting one crore women as ‘crorepatis’ is one among the main goals of ‘Indiramamma Rajyam ‘in the state. It is a matter of pride to hold ground-breaking ceremonies for the newly constructed Indira Mahila Shakti buildings in 22 districts on Indira Gandhi’s birth anniversary.
Perhaps for the first time in the country’s history, setting up solar power plants with 4,000 women’s groups is also another big achievement of the People’s government, the CM added.
