00:00I would like to say that today we have done an incredible panel where we have talked about women's safety,
00:09empowerment, and I think that the initiative is exactly those things.
00:14When Asif, Sahar and Rohit said about this initiative and they said that we are going to promote it today,
00:25we are going to empower our female drivers, they will be empowered, they will be given financial freedom, independence,
00:34and a very simple thing is that if our country has a great success, then our country will be more
00:40and more safety.
00:43And I think that this initiative is an actionable thing.
00:47We always think that this should do women empowerment.
00:50This actually Bhamra Foundation has done it.
00:54And I hope that these pink rickshaws are in the country.
00:58In Mumbai, today, there will be 1,000 rickshaws launch.
01:01There will be 12,000 rickshaws target for Maharashtra.
01:04They will be given in other states.
01:07So, congratulations, congratulations.
01:10This is a beautiful initiative.
01:13We all know that today's important issue, what is the environment, environmental sustainability.
01:21So, as a youth, as this generation, how can we help us for our environment and sustainability?
01:30You have an environmental sustainability of this world.
01:31In the other states, such as the pink rickshaws,
01:33this country gives independence, self-confidence,
01:38it gives livelihood, but in its own country,
01:42this country gives contribution to us through its own,
01:45as this electric rickshaws.
01:47In the environment, there are not carbon footprints,
01:50carbon emissions,
01:51so there are a positive contribution to us through our environment.
01:56Do you know that women's safety is also a big concern, so what do you say about it?
02:02Yes, if our women are on roads, even at night, they are running a road,
02:07so women's safety will be safe.
02:13What do you say about women's safety?
02:17In Mumbai, you can talk about small towns, but there is no safety.
02:21Safety is a fundamental right.
02:25And when the rickshaw is running,
02:30they have a safe environment in the city,
02:34because women are the safest people to take you around.
02:39So when the rickshaw is running,
02:41there is an opportunity for the rickshaw.
02:43And as I said, for the environment also,
02:46and also for the well-being of their own selves,
02:50it is very helpful.
02:51And thank you to the places I have found in need
