BHOPAL: The Madhya Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, will observe 'Nari Shakti Vandan' fortnight across the state from April 10 to April 25 to spread awareness about the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, also known as the Women's Reservation Act.

Also it would celebrate the leadership and contributions of women in various fields. The state government has directed that the event be celebrated as a grand public festival.

The campaign will begin with conferences at all divisional headquarters. During these events, women public representatives and successful women entrepreneurs will be felicitated and will share their experiences.

The Department of Women and Child Development will organise 'Nari Shakti Padayatras (women's empowerment marches)', in every Lok Sabha and Assembly constituency, with participation from women across different sections of society.

To involve the youth, a 'Nari Shakti Vandan Wall' will be created where young people can express their thoughts through paintings and messages.
