 The opportunity costs for non-inclusion of women in national mainstream is immense. I strongly believe that women empowerment using ICTs is the key driver for transformation to knowledge society. In my own capacity, we focus our work on the most disadvantaged of our women and young girls and to provide them the opportunities that they well and truly deserve. We are taking whatever measures that are required to empower women and young girls of my country through the use of ICTs. Women are the architects of the society and women employment using ICT is the lever of economic progress. Our present government is committed towards an all-inclusive society with enhanced empowerment of women through a well-structured enabling environment that would guarantee their financial autonomy. With this thoughtfulness, the government is embarking upon initiatives that could uplift the knowledge and skills of our women and girls to increase their employability potential. Our initiative ICT for Girls aims to provide awareness, training, ICT courses, coding as well as app development to girls and ultimately focusing on empowerment of these young girls to better realize and protect their own rights, earn the livelihood without undue burden and to strive freely for their socioeconomic development. This is my dream. I would like to sincerely commend the programs and initiatives taken up by ITU in raising awareness in the area of ICT for women empowerment and for young girls. These have been a source of real inspiration for all of us. I would also like to congratulate you and women for pursuing a much-required agenda for women inclusion at all levels of international discourse.
