PM Modi also hailed performances of India's men and women hockey teams in the recently concluded Olympics in Tokyo.He listed some steps taken by his government in the last six years, explaining how each of those benefitted women."In the first phase of Ujjwala Yojana, 80 million women received free LPG connections.
