Women's Reservation Bill to Transform Indian Democracy by 2029
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized that implementing women's reservation in legislative bodies by 2029 will significantly strengthen India's democratic framework. The government views this constitutional amendment as essential for creating a more vibrant and inclusive democratic system. The proposed legislation aims to reserve seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, marking a transformative step toward gender parity in political representation. Currently, women remain underrepresented in India's legislative institutions despite constituting nearly half the population. The implementation timeline aligns with the next general elections scheduled for 2029, allowing adequate preparation for electoral and administrative adjustments.
