On the occasion of International Girl Child Day, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann extended warm greetings to daughters across India and the world. In his heartfelt message, he urged everyone to come together to protect the dignity, rights, and dreams of girls, while working toward building a safe and equal society for them.
Commitment to Empowerment and Equality
Mann reaffirmed his government’s commitment to promoting gender equality through initiatives that empower girls in education, health, and leadership. He stated that the Punjab government is continuously working to create an environment where every girl can pursue her aspirations without discrimination or fear. Schemes focusing on girls’ education, scholarships, and safety have been strengthened to ensure inclusive growth.
Daughters as the Strength of Society
Highlighting the role of daughters in shaping the moral and emotional foundation of families and communities, Mann said that empowering girls means empowering the nation. “A society that respects and uplifts its daughters always walks the path of progress,” he remarked, calling for continued efforts to eliminate gender bias and violence against women.
Global Message of Hope
Extending his wishes beyond Punjab, the Chief Minister reminded that the message of International Girl Child Day is universal — to ensure equality, opportunity, and dignity for every girl, regardless of her background. He encouraged collective responsibility from parents, educators, and institutions to nurture a world where every daughter’s smile reflects freedom, respect, and confidence.
He concluded his message by saying, “Let’s promise to create a society where daughters are not just celebrated for a day, but respected and supported every single day of the year.”
