Delhi Assembly Speaker lauds women’s contribution to nation-building

Delhi Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Saturday said that women’s contribution to nation-building has been extraordinary and historic, adding that their participation is indispensable across all spheres of society.

Addressing the valedictory function of the Bal Sanskar Shivir 2026, the Sampurna Mahila Haat, and the introduction and review programme of Dr. Shobha Vijender’s book Shatayu Sangh aur Mahila Sehbhagita in Rohini, Gupta said women have played a pivotal role in promoting value-based education, strengthening families and encouraging community participation.

Emphasising the need for environmental conservation, the Speaker called for the plantation of 10,000 trees in Rohini and urged citizens to transform environmental protection into a people’s movement.

“Let us all resolve to make Rohini cleaner, healthier and greener. Together, we have pledged to plant 10,000 trees across our constituency this year and nurture each sapling into a full-grown tree,” Gupta said.

He stressed that collective responsibility forms the foundation of social progress and urged people to work together in various welfare initiatives.

Speaking about Bal Sanskar Shivir 2026, Gupta said the camp had provided participating children with much more than memorable experiences.

“It has instilled values, discipline and cultural awareness that will remain with them throughout their lives,” he said.

Appreciating the commitment of the children, teachers and volunteers, Gupta noted that despite Delhi’s intense summer heat, participants attended the camp every day with remarkable enthusiasm and actively took part in its activities.

Referring to Dr. Shobha Vijender’s book Shatayu Sangh aur Mahila Sehbhagita, the Speaker said it chronicles the contribution of women to organisational and social life over the past hundred years.

He observed that women, through their dedication, hard work and intellectual leadership, had not only participated in organisational activities but had also played a decisive role in strengthening institutions and making them more effective.

Gupta further said that the philosophy of the Sangh does not differentiate between men and women, but instead inspires mothers and sisters to work shoulder to shoulder in the service of society.
