From DCs to SSPs, highest-ever women appointments mark shift in Punjab governance: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann

CM Bhagwant Singh Mann asserted that no free ‘revdis’ or concession cards can eliminate poverty or social evils. Education is the only way to break this cycle and improve living standards, and that is why our government is working tirelessly to strengthen it.

Mohali (SAS Nagar): Positioning women at the centre of Punjab’s growth story, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday laid out an expansive vision for their role in governance, economy and society, asserting that real empowerment lies in education, representation and economic opportunity. Speaking at a felicitation event awarding grassroot entrepreneurs in Mohali, he gave a detailed account of the AAP government’s initiatives, from job reservations and direct financial support to large-scale livelihood programmes, while urging women to step into decision-making roles and reshape the state’s future.

Addressing the gathering after felicitating women entrepreneurs, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “It is imperative that girls come forward and empower themselves through education. It is in the larger interest of the nation, as women who manage homes and families efficiently should also run the country. The state government is committed to this noble cause and is leaving no stone unturned for it.”

Encouraging greater political participation, he said, “Girls must come forward and participate in politics to become active partners in decision-making and bring necessary change in society. Today, girls have outnumbered boys in almost every field, but politics is still an exception. This field has long been considered a fiefdom of men, but the time has come for women to excel here as well. Women’s participation is essential to build an egalitarian society........
