As declared earlier, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has handed over his social media accounts to "seven women achievers" on International Women's Day.

"Greetings on International Women's Day! We salute the spirit and accomplishments of our Nari Shakti. As I'd said a few days ago, I'm signing off. Through the day, seven women achievers will share their life journeys and perhaps interact with you through my social media accounts," Narendra Modi, who has a combined following of 130 million on major social media platforms, tweeted today morning.

Greetings on International Women's Day! We salute the spirit and accomplishments of our Nari Shakti.
As I'd said a few days ago, I'm signing off. Through the day, seven women achievers will share their life journeys and perhaps interact with you through my social media accounts.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 8, 2020

In another tweet, he said, "India has outstanding women achievers in all parts of the nation. These women have done great work in a wide range of sectors. Their struggles and aspirations motivate millions. Let us keep celebrating the achievements of such women and learning from them."

The Indian PM is the most followed leader on Facebook and Instagram, with 44 million following his page on Facebook and 35.2 million following him on photo and video sharing app Instagram. On YouTube, he has 4.5 million subscribers.
