Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Sunday said that the State is celebrating 11YearsOfSashaktNari--a transformative journey that has empowered crores of daughters, sisters, and mothers across the country, elevating them to new heights of self-confidence, self-reliance, and leadership.
He added that this progress is the result of Prime Minister

's visionary leadership and effective governance, which not only aims to empower Nari Shakti but also recognizes it as a central pillar of nation-building, according to a CMO statement..
Highlighting various flagship initiatives of the Central government over the last 11 years, Dhami said that from Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao, Ujjwala Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Nari Shakti Vandan Act, providing pucca houses to women, Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Namo Drone Didi, Stand Up India, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Matritva Vandana Yojana to the appointment of women in military services, increasing participation of women in every field and political representation - in these 11 years, women have got respect, opportunity and rights on every front.
"Today, India's daughters are not just dreamers, but achievers. They are flying in the sky, guarding the borders, making strides in science and playing pivotal roles in democratic leadership," Dhami said.
The Chief Minister said that this change was possible not only by schemes but by the faith of a public leader who believes that India will develop only when the daughters of the country are empowered.
"This is not empowerment but the dedication of the Prime Minister to take forward half of India's population and put them on the front line of nation-building," he added.

Westinghouse pursues US nuclear expansion after Trump orders, FT says
Nuclear equipment supplier Westinghouse is in talks with U.S. officials and industry partners about deploying 10 large reactors, in response to presidential executive orders, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing the company's CEO. President Donald Trump's executive orders, which were published on May 23, directed the government to cut down on regulations and fast-track licences for reactors and power plants to shrink a multi-year process to 18 months. Dan Sumner, Westinghouse interim chief executive, told the FT that the company was "uniquely positioned" to deliver the president's agenda because it had an approved reactor design, a viable supply chain and recent experience of building two of its AP1000 reactors in Georgia. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Most Expensive Cars In The World "There is active engagement with the administration, including key points of interface with the loan programmes office, recognising the importance of financing to the deployment of the model," he told the FT.

The group blamed Israel for the attack, which damaged the front section of the ship.

'Turn back': Israel orders military to block 'antisemite' Greta Thunberg-led aid boat from reaching Gaza
Climate activist Greta Thunberg stands near a Palestinian flag after boarding the Madleen boat and before setting sail for Gaza along with activists of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, departing from the Sicilian port of Catania, Italy, on June 1, 2025. (Pic credit: AP) As Greta Thunberg sails towards Gaza with other activists carrying aid for people in war-torn Gaza, Israel on Sunday vowed to prevent the boat from entering the territory. Defence minister Israel Katz said that it wouldn't allow the boat to break its naval blockade of the Palestinian territory. The naval blockade aimed to prevent Hamas from importing arms, he said. "I have instructed the military to prevent the Madleen flotilla from reaching Gaza," Israel Katz said in a statement. "To Greta the antisemite and her companions, Hamas propaganda mouthpieces, I say clearly: turn back because you will not reach Gaza." The vessel, Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, set sail from Sicily last Sunday to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and draw international attention to the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region. The group said they intended to reach Gaza's territorial waters by Sunday. Thunberg is among 12 activists onboard, along with Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament of Palestinian descent. Hassan has previously been barred from entering Israel due to her vocal opposition to Israeli policies toward Palestinians. The aid mission comes at a time when humanitarian groups are sounding the alarm over looming famine in Gaza. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo After imposing a complete blockade on the enclave for over three months, Israel began allowing limited aid to enter last month. However, aid agencies say it falls far short of what's needed to address the crisis. This is not the first time the Freedom Flotilla Coalition has tried to reach Gaza by sea. A previous attempt in May ended in disaster after one of their vessels was struck by drones in international waters off Malta. The group blamed Israel for the attack, which damaged the ship's front section. Despite the risks, the activists aboard Madleen say they are determined to complete their mission.
