Union minister for Women and Child Development,Smriti Irani who took charge of the Ministry, assured that she would focus on children’s issues and women’s empowerment in order to give a better future for the children of the country. She also promised that women’s contribution will be harnessed for the development of the nation.

Besides this Ministry, Smriti has retained the Textiles portfolio that she held with the previous government.  While taking charge of the Ministry, she has been briefed on the key issues that need to be expeditiously addressed. She will  have her task cut out as the  Supreme Court had asked the Centre to prepare a Child Protection Policy in the aftermath of the Muzaffarpur and the Deoria  shelter home abuse cases.
