A member of the State Women's Commission will undertake an extensive day-long visit to Pratapgarh on August 25, 2026, to inspect facilities related to women and child welfare, conduct public hearings, and review official performance on pending complaints. Pratibha Kushwaha, the Commission member, will also interact with self-help groups and participate in a Rakshabandhan celebration during her packed schedule.

The day will begin at 8 am with an inspection of an anganwadi center, where traditional ceremonies including garbhvati women's god bharai and newborns' annaprashan will be performed. At 9 am, Kushwaha will inspect the One Stop Centre, a crucial facility for women in distress. By 11 am, she is scheduled to reach the Medical College in Pratapgarh to conduct an inspection and interact with trainee students.

A public hearing and dialogue programme will be held at 1 pm at the Vikas Bhavan, where Kushwaha will listen to grievances from the general public and women. This will be followed by a review meeting with officials at 2 pm, during which the status of cases that emerged from the previous public hearing will be presented and their disposal examined.

At 3:30 pm, the Commission member will engage in dialogue with women from self-help groups of the Sadar tehsil area at Afeem Kothi. Later, at 4 pm, she will attend a Rakshabandhan celebration at the Raniganj Camp Office in Bhabnamayi-Ramgarh, where former MLA Dheeraj Ojha will also participate. After reaching the Inspection Building in Pratapgarh at 6 pm, Kushwaha will depart for the camp office located at Bharwari in Kaushambi, depending on convenience. The comprehensive visit underscores the Commission's commitment to monitoring welfare schemes and addressing women's issues at the grassroots level.
