Srinagar : Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha attended the “Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan- Healthy Women, Empowered Families”, a national health campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The 16-day campaign will strengthen screening, maternal health services, lifestyle counselling, yoga and Ayush-based interventions for women, adolescent girls and children.
The event also witnessed the commencement of 8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah which will be celebrated from 17th September to 16th October 2025, across the country.
In his address, the Lieutenant Governor expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for dedicating the national health campaign to promote women’s health and well being.
He called upon all the stakeholders to work with Whole of Government Approach and make this campaign a huge success.
“A healthy woman is the foundation of a happy and prosperous family, which in turn builds a strong nation. Wednesday, the supreme position of women in public life is seen as key to ensuring peace and progress in the society. The “Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan” is poised to turn a new chapter in women’s empowerment.
Prime Minister’s holistic approach to improving the lives and prioritising health of women has given new strength to Nari Shakti. Prime Minister’s vision, which places Nari Shakti at the forefront of development, has made women powerful agents of change,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor, in his address, highlighted India’s rapid economic development, under the guidance of Prime Minister.
India has overcome previous slow growth to become one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said peace is essential for development, and peace can only be achieved by completely dismantling terror ecosystem.
“The people from all sections of society must realise that those who provide ideological and financial support for terrorism, create false narratives are dangerous to peace and development.
“Viksit Bharat” requires a “Viksit Jammu Kashmir”, which can only be achieved when economic benefits reach the poor and the common man, and not only to handful of persons. On this occasion, we must also introspect on these important issues,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
The Lieutenant Governor called for a widespread awareness campaign using various platforms to encourage public participation and leveraging Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Anganwadi centres for dissemination of detailed information on health camp schedules and services.
The Lieutenant Governor inaugurated a health camp to mark the occasion. He also distributed medical aids and handed over sanction letters under Mission YUVA among beneficiaries
