These women have done great work in a wide range of sectors. Their struggles and aspirations motivate millions. Let us keep celebrating the achievements of such women and learning from them.”He then went on to put out a second tweet greeting all on International Women’s Day. "We salute the spirit and accomplishments of our Nari Shakti. As I’d said a few days ago, I’m signing off. Through the day, seven women achievers will share their life journeys and perhaps interact with you through my social media accounts," PM Modi tweeted.Sneha Mohandoss from Food Bank India was the first to come on board the PM’s account with a tweet introducing her work towards eradicating hunger. "You heard of food for thought. Now, it is time for action and a better future for our poor. Inspired by my mother, who instilled the habit of feeding the homeless, I started this initiative called foodbank India. I work with volunteers, many of whom are outside India, to work towards eradicating hunger. We have over 20 chapters and have impacted several people with our work. We also initiated activities like mass cooking, cooking marathons, breast feeding awareness drives."Next Malvika Iyer joined in to share how she survived a bomb blast at the age of 13 that blew off her hands and severely damaged her legs. “I worked and went on to do a PHD. Giving up is never an option. Forget your limitations and take on the world with confidence and hope,” she tweeted. She went on to highlight how education is indispensable for change.

She also spoke of accessibility and need for focus on invisible disabilities like mental illness.Arifa, a young entrepreneur from Kashmir came on board to share the inspiring story of how she has been working with the women in her state revive traditional crafts. "I always dreamt of reviving the traditional crafts of Kashmir because this is a means to empower local women.
