New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today urged the people to inculcate safety
in their day-to-day lives, stressing that India had to become a
"risk-conscious" society.
In his monthly 'Mann ki
Baat' radio broadcast, he also said the country was looking beyond the
concept of women's development and talking in terms of development
being led by women.
Women today were leaders in various spheres of life. he said, calling it a positive step.
Modi also urged women in rural areas to become a part of an
initiative for "clean energy and green jobs" through the
recently-launched "Gobar dhan" programme under which livestock waste
including cow dung in villages would be used to generate clean energy.
