To boost women’s workforce participation, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu announced a work-from-home initiative. He announced the decision on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

In a post on X, Naidu greeted all women and girls in STEM on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. “Today, we celebrate their achievements and commit ourselves to providing them equal and full access to growth opportunities in these fields.”

“Now, returning to the headline - As we know, the work landscape shifted during the COVID-19 pandemic. With technology readily available to scale, "Work From Home" gained prominence. Remote work, coworking spaces (CWS), and Neighbourhood Workspaces (NWS) can foster flexibility and productivity. Such initiatives can help us strike a better work-life balance as well,’ he said.

“We're offering incentives for developers to create IT office spaces in every city/town/mandal and supporting IT/GCC firms to generate employment at the grassroots. These efforts aim to boost grassroots employment and make Andhra Pradesh a leader in flexible work models," he said.
