Mission Shakti campaign, implemented under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to strengthen women’s safety, dignity, and self-reliance in the state, has delivered effective results. While the Mission Shakti campaign has made women self-reliant, it has also empowered them by providing a safe environment.
During the second phase of Phase-5 of the Mission Shakti campaign, conducted from March 19 to April 17, 2026, officials inspected approximately 3 lakh schools, colleges, and public places across the state. In addition, officials made women and girls aware of their rights, government welfare schemes, and helpline services, while further strengthening security arrangements.
ADG Padmaja Chauhan, Nodal Officer of the Women and Child Safety Organization, said Yogi government considers women’s safety an important component of law and order in the state and is simultaneously focusing on awareness, dialogue, and strict action. In this direction, second phase of Phase-5 of Mission Shakti campaign was conducted across the state.
During this period, police, administration and concerned departments jointly organized various programs. In addition to providing women and girls with safety-related information, the campaign placed special emphasis on monitoring suspicious activities, preventing crimes, and assisting victims.
Under the campaign, 66,441 women and girls participated in district-level runs to promote women’s safety. These programs distributed 49,437 publicity materials. These events also drew 1,930 public representatives, officials, and inspirational women. Meanwhile, women’s chaupals organized at religious places, fairs, and other public locations provided information about government welfare schemes and helpline services to 15,55,219 people. These efforts aim to raise women’s safety awareness and encourage them to use the available support system when needed.
During the campaign, 12,51,777 women participated in awareness programs organized at 1,593 Mission Shakti centers. During this period, 10,05,926 pamphlets related to government welfare schemes and helplines were distributed.
