In a significant development, Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar has been appointed as the new chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW). Rahatkar, who previously served as the chief of the BJP’s women’s wing, brings extensive experience in championing women’s rights and empowerment. Her appointment comes at a time when the NCW is tasked with addressing pressing issues such as gender-based violence and promoting women’s welfare across India.
Rahatkar’s leadership in the women’s wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) saw her advocate for numerous policy changes aimed at improving the socio-economic status of women in India. As the new head of the NCW, Rahatkar is expected to continue her work on key legislative reforms and campaigns against violence and discrimination.
Her appointment has been welcomed by BJP leaders and women’s rights activists alike, who see her as a strong and capable leader. Rahatkar’s tenure at NCW will be closely watched as she takes on the task of furthering the rights and protections of women in India.
