Mumbai: Deputy chief minister
Eknath Shinde
on Tuesday directed officials to create a comprehensive app for women in the city to access information about schemes for women in one place. Shinde said the various departments should work effectively to implement the Fourth Women's Policy 2024 was announced.
"Through this policy, the state govt is creating an enabling environment for women and girls. Keeping in mind the population of Mumbai city, emphasis should be placed on establishing hostels for working women, daycare centres for children, women's self-help groups in slum areas and other needy places, providing stalls to self-help groups on a rotation basis, developing tourism projects to increase women's participation in the tourism sector, and implementing govt schemes for women fishermen.
Implement various schemes for tribal women effectively. Work should be done to complete the projects planned to solve the housing problem on time, provide health facilities to women immediately, and increase health facilities in line with the times," Shinde said at the Fourth Women's Policy-2024 District Level Implementation Steering Committee meeting."Strict measures are being taken to curb violence against women. To make the security and other important schemes implemented by the govt available on a single app, an app should be developed in Mumbai city and made available to all women. The various schemes implemented by the govt to help women should be made available immediately. Women should be supported while filing a complaint after coming to the police station. The atmosphere in the police station should be such that they can file a complaint without succumbing to any pressure. The govt is taking complaints regarding women on a fast track. The administration should work for this as women also need to have a big share to take the state towards a one trillion economy," Shinde said.
