Meenakshi Lekhi: Creating A Legacy

In the current situation where geopolitical crises across the globe are on the rise, being part of a nation's External Affairs Ministry is not a simple job, however, Meenakshi Lekhi tackles every challenge effortlessly.

Typically, the politics of any country is considered a male-dominated sphere, but the case is not the same for Lekhi as she actively takes part in decision-making since she assumed charge as Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture on 8 July 2021.

Born on April 30, 1967, in New Delhi to progressive parents, she always pitches for women's empowerment. She believes that women are the creative force of the economy, and if the economy needs a boost, they need to take the centre stage.

Interestingly, apart from being a political figure, she has been part of the Drafting Committees for bills like the “Women Reservation Bill” and “Problem of Sexual Harassment at Workplace”.
