India integrated women’s rights early: RS Deputy Chairman Singh

Business To Business, Tirupati, 14 September 2025: On Sunday, Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh underscored India's pioneering integration of women's rights into the fabric of socioeconomic progress, contrasting it with the prolonged timelines many advanced democracies required to acknowledge gender equality.
 
Addressing the National Conference of the Committee on the Empowerment of Women within Parliament and State and Union Territory legislatures, Singh highlighted Bihar as the trailblazing state that, in 2006, enacted a fifty percent reservation for women in the third tier of governance—a progressive model now adopted by approximately twenty-one other states.
 
"While numerous developed democracies took considerable time to recognize women's rights, the Indian Constitution from its inception embedded women firmly within the framework of socioeconomic development," he emphasized.
