In a progressive stride towards gender equality and economic empowerment, the Jharkhand government has officially lifted the long-standing ban on women working night shifts in factories. The landmark decision, approved by President Draupadi Murmu, grants women the legal right to work beyond conventional hours, provided their consent and full safety measures by employers are ensured. This move is poised to reshape the industrial landscape and offer unprecedented opportunities for the state’s female workforce. [3]
