Now women will be able to progress more easily, become stronger, and our country will move ahead)."Meanwhile, former badminton player Saina Nehwal said that the Nari Shakti Vandan Act is not just a law, but a strong initiative to give women the right to equality in the country's parliament.About Nari Shakti Vandan ActFor those unversed, the act was passed in September 2023. Commonly known as the Women's Reservation Act, it refers to the provisions for maternity leave, maintenance allowance, and rights in parents' property. The law gives one-third of the seats to women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.With the new changes, the total Lok Sabha seats may go up to 816, out of which 273 will be reserved for women.This 33% reservation was introduced through a constitutional amendment in 2023.Earlier, the rule could only be applied after the delimitation process following the 2027 Census, meaning it wouldn’t take effect before 2034. To start it from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, the government is planning changes to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam and has called a special session to pass them.
