Need to change men’s perspective for making MP safe & empowering women: CM


We need to bring change in our perspective, vision and attitude, especially this change is needed in men, said Chief Minister Kamal Nath said while quoting the need of hour for women empowerment on Friday. He was addressing the gathering of women for Devi Awards in Radisson Blu.
“This change is needed more in men, men must respect women and every man must understand the contribution of women,” Nath said. He added that Madhya Pradesh needs to create its identity, not as Mafia or Bhopal gas tragedy, but as a state where women are safe and a part of economic growth.
“We are recognising women in various fields, but women need to join the government as well, because it is women who are keeping the country together and intact,” Nath said.
He added that it is duty of a woman to follow our customs and moral values. Talking about the change, Nath said, “Whether it is in rural or urban area, there has been a significant transformation in women’s life and role in the society today.”
He added that in 1979, women did not get out of their house and now the same women are running are self-help groups in rural areas. “Women in urban area are more knowledgeable and have changed in thinking, their knowledge contribution is required for the state to progress,” Nath said.
“Women understand society and surroundings, but now, we need them to thinking bigger and understand the country,” Nath said. He talked about unity in India despite the diversity.
“No other country has such diversity and if despite this diversity, we are under one flag, then the credit goes to women for keeping family and country together,” Nath said. He added that our moral values and spiritual power are our biggest strength.
“Our value system is our biggest strength, and we should not forget that giving respect to women is also our value,” Nath said.
The awards were given to 15 women from the state. Anuradha Saxena, Bhawna Dehariya, Dr Divya Gupta, Maya Vishwakarma, Vinita Mewada, Dr Leela Joshi, Padma Shri Janak Palta McGilligan, Rajashree Pathak, Muskan Ahirwar, Usha Jain, Megha Parmar, Monica Punjabi Verma, Ruchi Vardhan Misra and Ambica Beri were the women recognised for their work in various fields and their jobs.
