Currently, about 33% of seats are allocated for women under the existing bill, but there are discussions about adding up to 180 more seats for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This significant decision follows the approval of the Women’s Reservation Bill by the Modi<\/a> Cabinet just a day ago. Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> is expected to engage with women Members of Parliament (MPs) in the new Parliament to emphasize the importance of greater female representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This development is being hailed as a positive and progressive step, showcasing the government’s commitment to enhancing female participation in policymaking and governance. It signifies a move towards achieving a more equitable gender balance in Indian politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
