Indian women are redefining global narratives with their extraordinary achievements, showcasing unmatched passion, determination, and resilience. On September 16, News18 SheShakti 2024 is set to celebrate these pioneering women who have broken barriers and elevated India’s global stature.
This year’s theme, ‘Breaking Barriers’, will feature a stellar line-up of women leaders from politics, cinema, social work, and numerous other fields, highlighting their remarkable contributions and leadership.
As India ascends globally, the foundation of its success lies in empowering grassroots systems. A remarkable 1.45 million Indian women, representing over 40 per cent of local leadership seats, are actively shaping decisions at the local level. Women’s influence in governance drives significant progress, with their impact on developmental outcomes highlighting the power of decentralised decision-making.
Building on this momentum of women’s leadership, SheShakti 2024 proudly showcases Shambhavi Chaudhury, who, at just 25, has become one of the youngest Members of Parliament. Her remarkable achievements and dedication to public service exemplify the power of youth in politics. Equally inspiring, Bansuri Swaraj, the dynamic Lok Sabha member from Delhi, is making her mark through decisive leadership and a commitment to public welfare. Following in the footsteps of her illustrious mother, she is carving her own path, driving transformative change at the grassroots level.
Further enriching this celebration of women’s empowerment, the event will also be graced by Maharani Radhikaraje Gaekwad of Baroda, a beacon of tradition and modernity. As a progressive royal and art connoisseur, she has devoted herself to empowering rural women in her state, guiding them from obscurity to prominence and helping them forge their own paths to success. Her presence will offer profound insights and inspiration, highlighting her unwavering commitment to transforming lives through empowerment and cultural enrichment.
We stand at a pivotal moment where women are not only rising but excelling in fields once considered off-limits. SheShakti 2024 celebrates these pioneers, whose extraordinary leadership and expertise continue to make the nation proud. Join us in honouring these women who are inspiring future generations to dream big and break barriers.
Tune in to News18 on September 16, 11am onwards, to witness the celebration unfold as News18 SheShakti 2024 captures the unstoppable force of women leading India’s progress.
