Launch of mobile app designed for online complaints

The chief minister launched the souvenir of the Women's Commission and the mobile app "Chhattisgarh State Women's Commission" made for online complaints. On this occasion, the Chief Minister administered an oath to all the people to make women empowered and safe.

While addressing this, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel stated that the efficiency of those performing duties related to women will be enhanced further by this workshop. Goals can also be met more quickly with better coordination and cooperation.

The master trainers who attend this workshop will be effective in the prevention of crimes against women. The workshop focuses on highly sensitive topics such as human trafficking, cybercrime, and workplace sexual harassment.

Baghel went on to say that poverty, illiteracy, and ignorance are the root causes of today's crimes. The government is working economically and educationally to prevent human trafficking. As a result of police officers' increased awareness, there has been a significant decrease in human trafficking. However, this is insufficient as human trafficking should not occur at all.

Cybercrime is also on the rise and there are innocent people in Chhattisgarh who must be made aware. The government is also working in this direction. Economic independence is critical for women, so we implemented small-scale projects at the grassroots level.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Baghel also stated that women must be financially capable. He said that his government is putting new plans in place to address this. During the Corona period, MNREGA projects were launched alongside rice distribution to provide relief to the people. The group has developed an action plan to help people become financially capable.

Today, women in Gauthans are becoming financially self-sufficient by producing vermicompost, Gobar paint, and green vegetables. Similarly, RIPA is being established to provide rural youth with employment opportunities. This will encourage both new and traditional works. Legal knowledge is required for society to progress and keep up with the times.

Mukhyamantri Mahtari Nyay Rath: Delivering justice with information about rules on the spot

The Chief Minister stated that the Constitution has empowered the people, the government's welfare schemes are for the people, and it is necessary for everyone to understand their rights and responsibilities. Hence, the State Women's Commission operates Mukhyamantri Mahtari Nyay Rath.

Mukhyamantri Mahtari Nyay Rath provides people with justice as well as information about the rules on the spot. Modern techniques are also used in the operation of the Women's Commission to expedite case resolution. Aside from short films, divisional-level training is also provided by subject experts to raise awareness.

Minister of Women and Child Development Smt. Anila Bhediya stated that it is crucial for women and girls to be aware of their rights in the modern era. The Commission organises public awareness campaigns for them. Mahtari Rath is being organised across the state to provide women with immediate justice.

Women's self-esteem has risen in recent years. They should be aware of their surroundings and make others aware of their surroundings. To control crime, everyone must work together. Legal education is critical for changing the state's status and direction for women. Women are currently contributing in all areas of livelihood and are on their way to becoming self-sufficient.

Chairperson of the State Women's Commission, Dr Kiranmayi Nayak, spoke about the Commission's tenure, saying that during her tenure, the commission got justice for harassed women by holding hearings in all districts of the state. The commission completed all tasks successfully with the administration's assistance.

Inspector General of Police, Dr Sanjay Shukla, spoke on the subject of prevention of human trafficking in legal workshop cum training. Forensic expert Dr Sunanda Dhenge spoke on the topic of women's crime and precautions for evidence.
