Women-led development under PM Modi reportedly empowers India's economic future Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India's economic landscape is increasingly influenced by the empowerment of women. Recent data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey indicates that the Female Labour Force Participation Rate for women aged 15 and above is projected to rise from 23.3 percent in 2017-18 to 40 percent by 2025. This shift reflects the government's focus on not only integrating women into the workforce but also fostering their roles as entrepreneurs and leaders. By October 2026, approximately 3.69 crore registered micro, small, and medium enterprises are expected to be women-owned, highlighting their significant contribution to the nation's economic growth.
