On this International Women’s Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all the mothers and sisters of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Today is a day of celebration, reflection, and commitment—a day to honour the strength, resilience, and achievements of women in every sphere of life.

Women have always been the backbone of our society, shaping our families, communities, and the nation with their dedication, hard work and perseverance. From being caregivers to changemakers, entrepreneurs to craftswomen, educators to warriors, their contributions are immeasurable.

This initiative aims to equip 50 unemployed local youth with essential lifesaving skills, enhancing beach safety and promoting employment opportunities for local youths.

On March 8th, we celebrate International Women's Day with a firm commitment to this year's theme – “She Builds BHARAT”. The Andaman & Nicobar UT is dedicated to empowering women and ensuring their equal role in nation-building.

This day is a call to action-a reminder that gender equality is essential for progress. True empowerment comes when every woman has the freedom, opportunity, and respect to pursue her dreams without barriers. Ensuring equal rights, safety and dignity for women is not just a duty but a necessity for the growth of our Islands and the Nation.
