\u201cRajmata Ahilyabai Holkar\u2019s legacy continues to inspire the nation with values of justice, service, and empowerment. Her leadership reminds us that courage and vision can redefine governance. Through initiatives such as NSTIs, PMKVY, NIESBUD, and the Skill India Digital Hub, the Ministry remains committed to offering women better opportunities, platforms, and guidance. The recent decision of the Madhya Pradesh Government to launch a dedicated training initiative in Rajmata\u2019s name is a meaningful step in taking her ideals to the next generation.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He added that this event embodies the Government of India\u2019s vision of “Kushal Nari, Sashakt Nari,” recognising that women\u2019s economic empowerment not only enhances self-worth but also contributes significantly to social and national development.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), Indore, Shri Shankar Lalwani who graced the event as the chief guest, remarked: \u201cRajmata Ahilyabai Holkar\u2019s life is a shining example of leadership rooted in compassion and justice. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s leadership, the nation is witnessing transformative steps for women’s empowerment\u2014from access to education and skills to encouraging entrepreneurship. Today, when women from rural and modest backgrounds are becoming self-reliant through skilling, we see the continuation of the very spirit of entrepreneurship-led empowerment that Rajmata championed in her time.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Director General (Training), MSDE, Ms. Trishaljit Sethi emphasized the symbolic significance of hosting this celebration at NSTI-W, Indore. She noted: \u201cThis institute has emerged as a key pillar in India\u2019s efforts to empower women through vocational education and training. Through flagship schemes such as PMKVY, Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), NIESBUD, and the NSTIs, we are ensuring that every woman has access to skill training, entrepreneurship opportunities, and sustainable livelihoods. The real-life journeys shared by women today are a reflection of Rajmata\u2019s legacy in action. As our Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister rightly said, \u2018Ahilyabai Holkar is a symbol of women\u2019s contribution to nation-building.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Joint Secretary at MSDE, Ms. Hena Usman stated that the event is not just a tribute but a reaffirmation of Rajmata\u2019s ideals through the Ministry\u2019s ongoing work: \u201cWe are working to foster an ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurial thinking and builds sustainable enterprises through institutions like NIESBUD and IIE. In Madhya Pradesh alone, over 22,000 individuals have received training under various schemes such as SANKALP, STRIVE, PM Janman, PM SVANidhi, and PM Surya Ghar. These efforts have led to the creation of over 2,400 registrations of enterprises and nearly 2,800 employment opportunities.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The event also featured an exhibition showcasing products and skills of women beneficiaries trained under various MSDE schemes including PMKVY, PM Vishwakarma, JSS, NIESBUD, and NSTI-W. Many of the women came from rural and modest socio-economic backgrounds and shared their inspiring journeys of transformation through skill training.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
