Rahul bats for adequate representation of women in all sectors

Gaya, June 06 (UNI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday strongly advocated for adequate representation of women in all sectors, saying it would help in their empowerment and making them self-reliant.
Gandhi, while interacting with women during a function organised by his party here, said that they should be given adequate representation in all sectors, including government services, the private sector, and the corporate sector. It was essential to make women self-reliant and empowered, he added.
" Our party has promised to give Rs 2500 per month to every woman in Bihar if voted to power in the next state assembly elections ", the Congress leader said, adding that the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee (MNREGA) scheme was launched by his government. The present regime has made certain changes, and registration and attendance of labourers were being made using apps on cell phones through the internet, he pointed out.
" Technology should be used to help beneficiaries under any scheme and not to harass them ", Gandhi said, adding that illiterate persons were facing difficulties due to the system of online registration and attendance under MNREGA scheme.
MNREGA labourers should be given at least 100 days of assured jobs annually, he stressed. Women should be given loans by Banks without any harassment to them, he demanded.
Earlier, during his interaction with women, he asked about problems being faced by them. He also asked about their earnings and sought suggestions on what could be done for them. He informed them that they would be given Rs 2500 per month if his party were voted to power. Women informed him about difficulties being faced by them in getting jobs under MNREGA.
