Empower women to empower the nation, says RSS chief

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Friday said the empowerment of women is essential for the progress of any nation, and they should be freed from regressive customs and traditions.

Speaking at an event organised by non-profit organisation Udyogwardhini at Solapur in Maharashtra, Bhagwat said women are the most important part of any society. “A man will work till his death. A woman will also work till the end, but beyond that,



she inspires the generations that follow. It is under a woman’s love and affection that children grow and mature,” he said.

Empowering women is crucial for national development, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief further said. “God has given an additional quality to women, enabling them to do things that men cannot. At the same time, God has given women all the qualities he has given to men, which is why they can do whatever men can do,” he said.
