Former Vice-President of India M. Venkaiah Naidu said that the development of any society is impossible without ensuring women’s empowerment and development.
Participating at the ‘International Women’s Day’ event organised by the Rashtriya Seva Samithi (RASS), a Tirupati-based NGO working toward women’s upliftment for over four decades, here on Tuesday, he observed that the presence, growth and development of women in various sectors rose from a paltry 9% during independence to 77% today.
