(Source: X/ @asim_arun) The Digital Democracy Dialogue, Triveni, being held in Uttar Pradesh’s capital, Lucknow, ended with the speakers stressing on growth that will be led by a focus on women and the youth of the country. Discussions were also held on good governance, culture and prosperity brought about under the Yogi government, a press release about the event stated. Highlighting how the opportunities are expanding for women in the country, senior journalist Malini Vadekar pointed out how more women are working in newsrooms across the country which was not the case 25 years ago. “Women and youth play a vital role in the development of any country or state," she said. Two separate sessions were held during the event – ‘Prosperity (Women and Youth) and ‘Cultural Renaissance’. Uttar Pradesh’s future prosperity will largely be determined by the state’s ability to fully utilise the potential of women and youth. Talking about the changing environment for women in the country, Vadekar said, “A major shift has occurred across the country, including in UP, where the government and administration have become sensitive to issues concerning women. Women are now able to voice their views more effectively than before, and female creators are also playing a significant role in this process." She exuded confidence that the women’s reservation will be implemented soon.

The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam (2023) or the 106th amendment to the Constitution introduced reservation of constituencies in India’s law-making bodies for women. A third of the seats would be reserved. This has been linked with the exercise of delimitation and census. Highlighting the strides made by women in public life, Patna University Professor Guru Prakash Paswan said, “Women are getting opportunities across the state and the country. For the first time in 75 years, a woman from a tribal family reached the country’s highest constitutional office." Good Digital Governance In the discussion held on the issue of good governance, speakers highlighted the benefits of incorporating new digital technologies. Speaking during the session, Uttar Pradesh Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social Welfare and Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Welfare, Asim Arun said that content creators have opened new avenues. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reminds officials to seek public feedback on every new policy and to that end, social media is used as a tool for feedback, the minister said. The coming era will be driven by a digital revolution, he said, “for which the people must keep learning." The Higher Education Minister of Nagaland, Temjen Imna Along had also participated in the discussion. He called for the creation of ‘a narrative of a capable and united India’, with the help of digital creators. He advised social media ‘influencers’ to create positive content because ‘the entire country is watching Uttar Pradesh’. “Even people in the last village on the Nagaland-Myanmar border know and recognize Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. All this has been possible because of digital creators and digital revolution.
