The Ministry for Women and Child Development joined hands with Facebook on November 19, 2019, to boost digital literacy and online safety specifically for women and children in India. This initiative, part of the Global Literacy Program, goes by the name “We Think Digital.” Women and children form the heartbeat of Indian society, but they’re also among the most vulnerable. It’s crucial to uplift and protect them, ensuring they thrive in every aspect of life.
In 1985, the Department of Women and Child Development emerged under the wing of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, aiming to foster the all-round growth of women and children. Then, on January 30, 2006, it attained the status of a Ministry, signifying a significant milestone in its journey to provide essential support for the well-being of women and children.
