प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी ने आज ‘महिलाओं का आर्थिक सशक्तिकरण’ पर बजट-उपरांत वेबिनार को सम्बोधित किया। केंद्रीय बजट 2023 में घोषित की गई पहलों के कारगर क्रियान्वयन के लिए सुझाव और विचार आमंत्रित करने के क्रम में सरकार द्वारा आयोजित 12 बजट-उपरांत वेबिनारों में से यह ग्यारहवां वेबिनार है।

प्रधानमंत्री ने हर्ष व्यक्त किया कि सम्पूर्ण देश वर्ष 2047 तक विकसित भारत के लक्ष्य को हासिल करने की दिशा में इस वर्ष के बजट को एक शुभ शुरुआत के रूप में देख रहा है। उन्होंने कहा, “भावी अमृतकाल के नजरिये से बजट को देखा और परखा जा रहा है। देश के लिए यह शुभ संकेत है कि देश के नागरिक भी खुद को इन लक्ष्यों से जोड़कर अगले 25 वर्षों की तरफ देख रहे हैं।”

प्रधानमंत्री ने यह बात दोहराई कि पिछले नौ वर्षों में देश महिलाओं के नेतृत्व में विकास की परिकल्पना के साथ आगे बढ़ रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत इन प्रयासों को वैश्विक मंच तक ले जा रहा है, क्योंकि भारत जी-20 की बैठक की अध्यक्षता करते हुए विश्व में अपनी स्थिति को प्रमुखता से दर्ज करा रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि इस वर्ष का बजट महिलाओं के नेतृत्व में विकास के प्रयासों को नई गति देगा।

प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि नारी शक्ति दृढ़ता, इच्छा-शक्ति, परिकल्पना, लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने के लिए काम करने की क्षमता और कठोर परिश्रम का परिचायक है, जैसा कि ‘मातृ शक्ति’ में परिलक्षित होता है। उन्होंने कहा कि ये गुण इस सदी में भारत की उड़ान और उसकी गति बढ़ाने में प्रमुख भूमिका निभा रहे हैं।

प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि महिला सशक्तिकरण के प्रयासों के परिणाम स्पष्ट नजर आते हैं और हम देश के सामाजिक जीवन में क्रांतिकारी परिवर्तन का अनुभव कर रहे हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि पुरुषों की तुलना में स्त्रियों की संख्या बढ़ रही है, तथा हाई स्कूल और उसके बाद की पढ़ाई में लड़कियों की संख्या भी पिछले नौ-10 वर्षों में तिगुनी हो गई है। विज्ञान, प्रौद्योगिकी, अभियांत्रिकी और गणित में लड़कियों का नामांकन आज 43 प्रतिशत है, जो अमेरिका, ब्रिटेन और जर्मनी जैसे देशों से अधिक है। चिकित्सा, खेल, व्यापार या राजनीति जैसे क्षेत्रों में, न केवल महिलाओं की भागीदारी बढ़ी है, बल्कि वे आगे बढ़कर नेतृत्व भी कर रही हैं।

प्रधानमंत्री ने इस तथ्य का उल्लेख किया कि मुद्रा ऋण की 70 प्रतिशत लाभार्थी महिलाएं हैं। इसी तरह, महिलाएं स्वानिधि के तहत बिना किसी जमानत के ऋण योजनाओं, पशुपालन, मत्स्यपालन, ग्रामीण उद्योग, एफपीओ की संवर्धन योजनाओं तथा खेल योजनाओं से भी लाभ उठा रही हैं।

श्री मोदी ने कहा, “इस बजट में यह बात परिलक्षित होती है कि हम कैसे आधी आबादी को साथ लेकर देश को आगे बढ़ा सकते हैं और कैसे महिला शक्ति की क्षमता को बढ़ा सकते हैं।” उन्होंने महिला सम्मान बचत प्रमाणपत्र योजना का उल्लेख किया, जिसमें महिलाओं को 7.5 प्रतिशत ब्याज मिलेगा। श्री मोदी ने कहा, “पीएम आवास योजना के लिए 80 हजार करोड़ रुपये महिला सशक्तिकरण की दिशा में एक कदम है, क्योंकि तीन करोड़ से अधिक आवास महिलाओं के नाम पर हैं।” प्रधानमंत्री ने पीएम आवास के महिला सशक्तिकरण वाले पक्ष पर जोर दिया, क्योंकि यह सर्वविदित है कि पारंपरिक रूप से महिलाओं के नाम पर कोई सम्पत्ति नहीं होती। उन्होंने कहा, “पीएम आवास ने घरों के आर्थिक निर्णयों में महिलाओं को नई आवाज दी है।”

प्रधानमंत्री ने स्व-सहायता समूहों में नये यूनिकॉर्न बनाने के लिए स्व-सहायता समहों को समर्थन दिये जाने की घोषणा के बारे में बताया। प्रधानमंत्री ने बदलते परिदृश्य के मद्देनजर महिला सशक्तिकरण के लिए देश की शक्ति के बारे में बताया। आज पांच गैर-खेतिहर व्यापारों में से एक व्यापार किसी न किसी महिला द्वारा चलाया जा रहा है। पिछले नौ वर्षों में सात करोड़ से भी अधिक महिलाएं स्व-सहायता समूहों में शामिल हुई हैं। उनकी मूल्य-श्रृंखला को उनकी पूंजी आवश्यकता से समझा जा सकता है, कियोंकि इन स्व-सहायता समूहों ने 6.25 लाख करोड़ रुपये के ऋण लिए हैं।

प्रधानमंत्री ने संकेत दिया कि ये महिलाएं न केवल छोटे उद्यमियों के रूप में योगदान कर रही हैं, बल्कि वे कार्य-व्यापार में विशेषज्ञता रखने वाले सक्षम व्यक्ति के रूप में भी अपना योगदान कर रही हैं।

प्रधानमंत्री ने सहकारिता सेक्टर में बदलाव और इस सेक्टर में महिलाओं की भूमिका पर भी चर्चा की। प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा, “दो लाख से अधिक बहुउद्देशीय सहकारितायें, दुग्ध सहकारितायें और मत्स्य सहकारितायें आने वाले वर्षों में बनाई जायेंगी। प्राकृतिक खेती से एक करोड़ किसानों को जोड़ने का लक्ष्य तय किया गया है। महिला किसान और उत्पादक समूह इसमें बड़ी भूमिका निभा सकते हैं।”

प्रधानमंत्री ने श्री अन्न को प्रोत्साहित करने में महिला स्व-सहायता समूहों की भूमिका पर बात की। उन्होंने कहा कि श्री अन्न के विषय में पारंपरिक अनुभव रखने वाली एक करोड़ से अधिक जनजातीय महिलाएं इन स्व-सहायता समूहों का हिस्सा हैं। उन्होंने कहा, “हमें श्री अन्न और उससे बने प्रसंस्कृत खाद्य पदार्थों के लिये बाजार सम्बन्धी अवसरों की पड़ताल करनी होगी। कई स्थानों पर, सरकारी संगठन जंगल के छोटे उत्पादों के प्रसंस्करण में मदद कर रहे हैं और उन्हें बाजार में उतार रहे हैं। आज, दूर-दराज के इलाकों में अनेक स्व-सहायता समूहों का गठन हो गया है, हमें इन्हें और विस्तार देना होगा।”

कौशल विकास की जरूरत पर बल देते हुए, प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि इस बजट में उल्लिखित विश्वकर्मा योजना प्रमुख भूमिका निभायेगी और वह एक सेतु के रूप में काम करेगी। उसके अवसरों का इस्तेमाल महिला सशक्तिकरण के लिए किये जाने की जरूरत है। इसी तरह, जी-ई-एम और ई-वाणिज्य महिलाओं के व्यापार अवसरों को विस्तार देने का माध्यम बन रहे हैं। जरूरत इस बात की है कि प्रशिक्षण में नई प्रौद्योगिकियों को प्राथमिकता दी जाये और यही स्व-सहायता समूहों में किया जा रहा है।

प्रधानमंत्री ने फिर कहा कि देश ‘सबका साथ, सबका विकास, सबका विश्वास और सबका प्रयास’ की भावना के साथ आगे बढ़ रहा है। उन्होंने कहा कि देश की बेटियों को देश की सुरक्षा करते और राफेल विमान उड़ाते देखा जा सकता है, और जब उन्हें उद्यमी बनते, निर्णय लेते व जोखिम उठाते देखा जाता है, तो उनके बारे में विचार बदल जाते हैं। उन्होंने नगालैंड में पहली बार दो महिला विधायकों के हाल में चुने जाने का उल्लेख किया, जिनमें से एक महिला विधायक ने मंत्री पद की शपथ भी ली। उन्होंने कहा, “भारत महिलाओं के लिए सम्मान का दर्जा और समानता की भावना बढ़ाकर ही आगे बढ़ सकता है। मैं आपका आह्वान करता हूं कि सभी महिलाओं-बहनों-बेटियों के रास्ते में आने वाली सभी बाधाओं को हटाने के लिए आप दृढ़ता के साथ आगे बढ़ें।”

प्रधानमंत्री ने राष्ट्रपति श्रीमती द्रौपदी मुर्मू के उस आलेख का उद्धरण देते हुये अपना सम्बोधन समाप्त किया, जिस आलेख को राष्ट्रपति ने अंतर्राष्ट्रीय महिला दिवस पर लिखा था। राष्ट्रपति ने लिखा था, “यह हम पर निर्भर करता है, हम सब पर, कि प्रगति को तेज करें। इसलिये, आज, मैं आप सबसे यह आग्रह करना चाहती हूं कि आप खुद में, अपने परिवार में, पड़ोस या काम करने के स्थान पर कम से कम एक बदलाव लाने का संकल्प करें – कोई भी बदलाव जो किसी लड़की के चेहरे पर मुस्कान ला दे, कोई भी बदलाव जो जीवन में आगे बढ़ने के लिए उस लड़की का अवसर निखार दे। एक यही अनुरोध है, जैसा कि मैंने पहले कहा था, सीधे हृदय की गहराइयों से।

The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi participated in the ‘Odisha Parba 2024’ celebrations today at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, he greeted all the brothers and sisters of Odisha who were present at the event. He remarked that this year marked the centenary of the death anniversary of Swabhav Kavi Gangadhar Meher and paid tributes to him. He also paid tributes to Bhakta Dasia Bhauri, Bhakta Salabega and the writer of Oriya Bhagavatha, Shri Jagannath Das on the occasion.

“Odisha has always been the abode of Saints and Scholars”, said Shri Modi. He remarked that the saints and scholars have played a great role in nourishing the cultural richness by ensuring the great literature like Saral Mahabharat, Odiya Bhagawat have reached the common people at their doorsteps. He added that there is extensive literature related to Mahaprabhu Jagannath in Oriya language. Remembering a saga of Mahaprabhu Jagannatha, the Prime Minister said that Lord Jagannath led the war from the forefront and praised the Lord’s simplicity that he had partaken the curd from the hands of a devotee named Manika Gaudini while entering the battlefield. He added that there were a lot of lessons from the above saga, Shri Modi said one of the important lessons was that if we work with good intentions then God himself leads that work. He further added that God was always with us and we should never feel that we are alone in any dire situation.

Reciting a line of Odisha poet Bhim Bhoi that no matter how much pain one has to suffer, the world must be saved, the Prime Minister said that this has been the culture of Odisha. Shri Modi remarked that Puri Dham strengthened the feeling of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'. He added that the brave sons of Odisha also showed direction to the country by taking part in the freedom struggle. He said that we can never repay the debt of the martyrs of Paika Kranti. Shri Modi remarked that it was the good fortune of the government that it had the opportunity to issue a commemorative postage stamp and coin on Paika Kranti.

Reiterating that the entire country was remembering the contribution of Utkal Kesari Hare Krishna Mehtab ji at this time, Shri Modi said that the Government was celebrating his 125th birth anniversary on a large scale. The Prime Minister also touched upon the able leadership Odisha has given to the country from the past till now. He added that Draupadi Murmu ji, hailing from a tribal community, was the President of India. And it was a matter of great pride for all of us. He further added that it was due to her inspiration, schemes worth thousands of crores of rupees for tribal welfare were implemented in India today and these schemes were benefiting the tribal society not only of Odisha but of the entire India.

Remarking that Odisha is the land of women power and its strength in the form of Mata Subhadra, the Prime Minister said that Odisha will progress only when the women of Odisha progress. He added that he had the great opportunity to launch the Subhadra Yojana for my mothers and sisters of Odisha a few days back which will benefit the women of Odisha.

Shri Modi highlighted the contribution of Odisha in giving a new dimension to India's maritime power. He noted that the Bali Jatra was concluded yesterday in Odisha, which was organised in a grand manner on the banks of the Mahanadi in Cuttack on the day of Kartik Purnima. Further, Shri Modi remarked that Bali Jatra was a symbol of India's maritime power. Lauding the courage of the sailors of the past, the Prime Minister said that they were brave enough to sail and cross the seas despite the absence of modern technology like today. He added that the traders used to travel by ships to places like Bali, Sumatra, Java in Indonesia, which helped promote trade and enhance the reach of culture to various places. Shri Modi emphasised that today Odisha's maritime power had an important role in the achievement of a developed India's resolve.

The Prime Minister underlined that today there is hope for a new future for Odisha after continuous efforts for 10 years to take Odisha to new heights. Thanking the people of Odisha for their unprecedented blessings, Shri Modi said that this had given new courage to this hope and the Government had big dreams and had set big goals. Noting that Odisha will be celebrating the centenary year of statehood in 2036, he said that the Government’s endeavour was to make Odisha one of the strong, prosperous and fast-growing states of the country.

Noting that there was a time when the eastern part of India including states like Odisha were considered backward, Shri Modi said that he considered the eastern part of India to be the growth engine of the country's development. Therefore, he added that the Government has made the development of eastern India a priority and today all the work related to connectivity, health, education in the entire eastern India had been expedited. Shri Modi highlighted that today Odisha was getting three times more budget than the central government used to give it 10 years ago. He added that this year, 30 percent more budget had been given for the development of Odisha as compared to last year. He assured that the Government was working at a fast pace in every sector for the holistic development of Odisha.

“Odisha has immense potential for port-based industrial development”, exclaimed the Prime Minister. Therefore, he added that trade will be promoted by developing ports at Dhamra, Gopalpur, Astaranga, Palur, and Subarnarekha. Remarking that Odisha was the mining and metal powerhouse of India, Shri Modi said that this strengthened Odisha's position in the steel, aluminium and energy sectors. He added that by focusing on these sectors, new avenues of prosperity can be opened in Odisha.

Noting that the production of cashew, jute, cotton, turmeric and oilseeds was in abundance in Odisha, Shri Modi said that the Government's effort was to ensure that these products reach the big markets and thereby benefit the farmers. He added that there was also a lot of scope for expansion in the sea-food processing industry of Odisha and Government’s effort was to make Odisha sea-food a brand that is in demand in the global market.

Emphasising that Government’s effort was to make Odisha a preferred destination for investors, the Prime Minister said that his government was committed to promoting ease of doing business in Odisha and investment was being promoted through Utkarsh Utkal. Shri Modi highlighted that as soon as the new government was formed in Odisha, an investment of Rs 45 thousand crore was approved within the first 100 days. He added that today Odisha had its own vision as well as a roadmap, which would promote investment and create new employment opportunities. He congratulated the Chief Minister Mohan Charan Manjhi ji and his team for their efforts.

Shri Modi remarked that by utilising the potential of Odisha in the right direction, it can be taken to new heights of development. Emphasising that Odisha can benefit from its strategic location, the Prime Minister said that access to domestic and international markets was easy from there. “Odisha was an important hub of trade for East and South-East Asia”, said Shri Modi and added that Odisha's importance in global value chains would further increase in the times to come. He further added that the government was also working on the goal of increasing exports from the state.

“Odisha has immense potential to promote urbanisation”, highlighted the Prime Minister and added that his Government was undertaking concrete steps in that direction. He further added that the Government was committed to build a large number of dynamic and well-connected cities. Shri Modi underscored that the Government was also creating new possibilities in the tier two cities of Odisha, especially in the districts of western Odisha where development of new infrastructure can lead to creation of new opportunities.

Touching upon the field of higher education, Shri Modi said that Odisha was a new hope for students across the country and there were many national and international institutes, which inspired the state to take the lead in the education sector. He added that these efforts were promoting the startup ecosystem in the state.

Highlighting that Odisha has always been special because of its cultural richness, Shri Modi said the art forms of Odisha fascinate everyone, be it the Odissi dance or the paintings of Odisha or the liveliness that is seen in the Pattachitras or the Saura paintings, a symbol of the tribal art. He added that one got to see the craftsmanship of Sambalpuri, Bomkai and Kotpad weavers in Odisha. The Prime Minister remarked that the more we spread and preserve the art and craftsmanship, the more the respect for Odia people would increase.

Touching upon the abundant heritage of architecture and science of Odisha, the Prime Minister remarked that the science, architecture and vastness of the ancient temples like Sun Temple of Konark, the Lingaraj and Mukteshwar amazed everyone with their exquisiteness and craftsmanship.

Noting that Odisha was a land of immense possibilities in terms of tourism, Shri Modi said there was a need to work across multiple dimensions to bring these possibilities to the ground. He added that today along with Odisha, the country also had a Government that respects Odisha's heritage and its identity. Underlining that one of the conferences of G-20 was held in Odisha last year, Shri Modi said that the Government presented the grand spectacle of the Sun Temple in front of the heads of states and diplomats of so many countries. The Prime Minister said he was pleased that all the four gates of the Mahaprabhu Jagannath Temple complex have been opened along with the Ratna Bhandar of the temple.

The Prime Minister emphasised that there was a need to undertake more innovative steps to tell the world about every identity of Odisha. He cited an example that Bali Jatra Day can be declared and celebrated to make Bali Jatra more popular and promote it on the international platform. He further added that celebrating Odissi Day for arts like Odissi dance could also be explored along with days to celebrate various tribal heritages. Shri Modi said that special events could be organised in schools and colleges, which would create awareness among people about the opportunities related to tourism and small scale industries. He added that Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan was also going to be held in Bhubaneswar in the upcoming days and was a huge opportunity for Odisha.

Noting the rising trend of people forgetting their mother tongue and culture across the globe, Shri Modi was pleased that the Oriya community, wherever it lives, had always been very enthusiastic about its culture, its language and its festivals. He added that his recent visit to Guyana had reaffirmed how the power of mother tongue and culture kept one connected to their motherland. He added that about two hundred years ago, hundreds of labourers left India, but they took Ramcharit Manas with them and even today they are connected to the land of India. Shri Modi emphasised that by preserving our heritage, its benefits could reach everyone even when development and changes take place. He added that in the same way, Odisha can be propelled to new heights.

The Prime Minister underscored that in today's modern era, it was important to assimilate modern changes while strengthening our roots. He added that events like the Odisha Festival could become a medium for this. He further added that events like Odisha Parba should be expanded even more in the coming years and should not be limited to Delhi only. Shri Modi underlined that efforts must be undertaken to ensure that more and more people join it and the participation of schools and colleges also increases. He urged the people from other states in Delhi to participate and get to know Odisha more closely.

Concluding the address, Shri Modi expressed confidence that in the times to come, the colours of this festival would reach every nook and corner of Odisha as well as India by becoming an effective platform for public participation.

Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, Electronics & IT, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw and Union Minister for Education, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, President of Odia Samaj, Shri Siddharth Pradhan were present on the occasion among others.
