Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday praised a compelling article by Union Cabinet Minister Annapurna Devi, spotlighting India’s strides in eliminating child marriage. Sharing the piece on his official X handle, PM Modi reiterated the nation’s unwavering dedication to ending this deep-rooted social issue.
“Eradicating child marriage once seemed a distant, perhaps impossible, dream. But India has proven that with clear policies, persistent action, and grassroots involvement, transformative change is within reach,” PM Modi said.
Annapurna Devi’s article, Child Marriage Free India, calls for collective resolve to protect every daughter’s right to a safe, educated, and empowered future.
“Let us together strengthen the resolve for a Child Marriage Free India,” she wrote, urging united action.
PM Modi’s endorsement reinforces the government’s ongoing focus on women’s empowerment and child welfare, highlighting a vision of an India where premature marriage is a thing of the past.
