Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi always stressed for the need of ensuring adequate empowerment for women. And, this is going to be one of the important topics to be taken up in the Jaipur Chinta Shivir of the party. The summit is likely to discuss revive efforts to pass a law that reserves seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The legislation was passed by the Rajya Sabha in March 2010, but is yet to be passed by the Lok Sabha. The Congress knows that the focus on women issues, the Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) scheme, and the Food Security Bill could revive the morale of party workers and also the party's electoral fortunes. Congress may also adopt a slogan to indicate this approach: 'Pehle hoga naari samman, baad mein hoga Bharat nirman (Respect for women first, nation building will follow)'..
