New Delhi:Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam became law in India after President Droupadi Murmu gave her nod to the women’s reservation bill. As it becomes an Act now, 33% of seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies will be reserved for women.
However, the reservation will be implemented after the new census and delimitation. In a special session of Parliament, the women’s reservation bill was passed by the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha this month making it a historic achievement by the Indian Parliament as it shifted its operation to the new Parliament building on September 19.
