New Delhi, Mar 8 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind wished all women of the country on the occasion of International Women's Day on Thursday.

Modi tweeted in Hindi, "On the occasion of Women's Day, respect to women power. We feel proud of the achievements of our women."

Kovind tweeted, "On International Women's Day greetings to women in India and across our planet. Women are the sheet-anchor of society, an inspiration for their families and for our nation. Let us work to a future where every woman has the right to dream, and to fulfil her dream #PresidentKovind."

Favouring an all-round empowerment of women, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu said on Twitter, " With women constituting about 50 per cent of our population, social, economic and political empowerment of women, including providing reservation in the Parliament and State Legislatures, has to be accorded top priority for the country to achieve rapid progress."
