Leaders have the power to transform – and a critical cog in this wheel of transformation is women. In a country like India with endemic structural inequalities and fragile support systems, women leaders can bring lasting changes.
Development by and for women is critical for India’s inclusive growth. Union Budget’s Nari Shakti initiatives equipping women with tools that help them steer change for a better tomorrow is a step in the right direction. Women at the front and center of decision-making can help improve policies and initiatives, especially in healthcare.
