\n\u201cAs the National President of FLO and a woman entrepreneur, I salute this symbolic action and applaud a gender inclusive and gender responsive budget. About 50% of India\u2019s potential has been lying untapped. PM Modi\u2019s budget will unleash the dormant Stri Shakti of India.\u201d Said Ms Vasvi Bharat Ram, President, FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) while reacting to the Union Budget for the year 2018-19 presented today in Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are at the center stage of India\u2019s robust economic growth and strong global position. The quantum of allocations for schemes relating to women has increased and the nodal agencies for women in the country consequently have further strengthened.The announcement of reduced rates of deductions to 8 percent for the first 3 years, from women\u2019s salaries for various schemes managed by the Employee Provident Fund Organisation is a welcome step. It will be a step further in bridging the huge gender gap between women and men workers in the country.\u201d Ms Bharat Ram said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Finance Minister’s budget also took into consideration the success of the Ujjwala scheme that gave women free gas connections. We welcome the government\u2019s decision to give 8 crore rural women free gas connection through Ujjwala yojana.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an attempt to give impetus to the agriculture sector, the government has promoted organic farmers in a big way and they will encourage women self-help groups to take up organic farming.We highly applaud the thrust in women\u2019s participation in the Small and Medium Enterprises by giving them incentive through the Mudra loan scheme. Seventy-six percent of the loans will be given to women, which is definitely a booster.\u201d She added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme, Sukanya Samridhi Yojana scheme, and mandatory maternity leave rules are yielding encouraging results. With this budget, I anticipate uniform implementation of the government schemes under this initiative, specifically in the grassroots. It is also heartening to see implementing strategies and increased allocations in the social sector in health, education and sanitation.\u201dMs Bharat Ram said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that goods like Bindi, Sindoor, Kajal, Bangles which are specifically used by women come under no tax slot and we look forward to inclusion of other pertinent women hygiene products like sanitary napkins and appreciate the government driven initiatives to give free sanitary pads in schools and sell subsidized pads\u201d she said..<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the first Union budget after implementation of GST ,we foresee a further impetus in entrepreneurship, empowering more women to flourish in this space.In alignment with PM Modi\u2019s digital India vision, we foresee financial stability for women via cashless transactions and seamless policies on start-ups.\u201d She said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposal of treating education holistically without segmentation will be a huge boost to the education sector. Further, moving from blackboard to digital board will bring about the most needed digital transformation.The step towards universal healthcare by starting the Ayushman Bharat programme, which will give 10 crore poor and vulnerable families a coverage of Rs 5 lakh each for hospital expense and also invigorate the healthcare sector by increasing the number of hospitals and improve the quality of medical colleges. We hope that that this will generate increased employability as well , with special focus on job creation for women.\u201d The FLO president said.<\/p>\n

\n\u201c I am hopeful, I am confident, that with the trajectory of PM Modi\u2019s budget 2018-2019, women will soon find their glorious position back in our society. \u201c she said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
