Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu launched a major initiative to expand workfrom-home (WFH) opportunities, focusing on empowering women professionals. Announced on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, this initiative underscores the state's commitment to gender inclusivity and work-life balance, particularly for women in STEM fields.
