Women’s Day 2025: Meet the 6 Women Who Took Over PM Modi’s Social Media

Women’s Day 2025: On the occasion of International Women's Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to the 'Nari Shakti'. Women achievers from various fields took over his social media accounts for the day.

"We bow to our Nari Shakti on #WomensDay! Our government has always worked to empower women, reflecting in our schemes and programmes. Today, as promised, my social media properties will be taken over by women who are making a mark in diverse fields," PM Modi said in a post on X.

Earlier, in a Mann Ki Baat episode, PM Modi had announced that he would hand over his social media accounts to women achievers from different walks of life to mark International Women's Day on March 8. "Let us celebrate and respect the indomitable spirit of women," he said, lauding the increasing participation of women in different sectors.

Keeping his promise, he gave access to his account to six women, including Vaishali Rameshbabu, Anjlee Agarwal, Anita Devi, Elina Mishra, Ajaita Shah and Shilpi Soni.

Chess Grandmaster R Vaishali

The first to take over the social media account was R Vaishali, a chess prodigy who has been making strategic moves since the age of six. The Grandmaster, who earned her title in 2023, acknowledged the growing support for women in sports and encouraged young girls to chase their dreams.

“I feel that today’s India provides a lot of support to women athletes, which is very encouraging. From inspiring women to pursue sports to training to giving them adequate sporting exposure, the progress India is making is exceptional,” she shared.

For Vaishali, chess is more than just a game — it’s a teacher, shaping discipline and resilience. “Your passion will power your success,” she wrote to aspiring athletes.

Elina Mishra and Shilpi Soni

Stepping into the spotlight next were two brilliant minds from India’s scientific community. Elina Mishra, a nuclear scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and Shilpi Soni, a space scientist at ISRO.

Their message was simple yet powerful: science is limitless, and women are leading the charge.

“The infinite world of science and technology is both exciting and gratifying. The sheer joy we feel when our designed and developed systems are put into application is beyond words. India’s nuclear and space programme has many such scientists like us, whom we acknowledge,” they wrote.
