Women participation key for true progress, says Naidu

The Hindu  

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said achieving true progress and sustainable development was fundamentally impossible without the full participation and empowerment of women, as their exclusion would stifle growth and perpetuate inequalities. “Imagine AI-based cooking at home where you can programme your meals remotely while returning from the office, and your food is ready by the time you reach home.,” he said, adding that such innovations could transform lives, especially for women who often bear the burden of household chores. Recognising the challenges of work life balance, the Chief Minister spoke about plans to promote ‘work-from-home’ initiative for women in a big way. “Let’s work together for development of the State,” he said, reiterating his vision to make Andhra Pradesh a hub of empowered women entrepreneurs, driving the State towards a brighter future.
