Lucknow, April 13 (NationPress) The government led by Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh has initiated a transformative project aimed at establishing schools as vital hubs for women's empowerment.

Named the Nari Shakti Vandan Abhiyan, this five-day campaign is set to take place statewide from April 16 to 20, with a strong emphasis on enhancing confidence, leadership skills, and awareness among female students.

As per the directive from Parth Sarathi Sen Sharma, the Additional Chief Secretary for Basic and Secondary Education, a range of activities will be executed in all council schools and Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas during this initiative.

The primary goal of the campaign is to empower young girls at the grassroots level by fostering self-confidence, encouraging social participation, and instilling a sense of leadership from an early age.

The Nari Shakti Vandan Abhiyan will kick off on April 16, celebrated as Nari Shakti Vandan Diwas. On this inaugural day, parents of girl students who have achieved an attendance rate exceeding 70 percent will be recognized in all council schools.

In Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas, female students and teachers will create a Nari Shakti Human Chain.

Furthermore, cultural events including short plays, folk songs, and dances that celebrate the lives of prominent women will allow girls to showcase their talents and boost their confidence.

April 20 will be dedicated to creativity and intellectual expression. Competitions in essay writing, self-composed poetry, poster creation, rangoli, and mehendi will be held under the theme “Empowered Women, Prosperous India”.

A debate competition will also take place, discussing the effects of the Nari Shakti Vandan Conference on future generations and the critical role women play in shaping a developed India.
