Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday gave his social media handles to seven "women achievers", following up on a statement he had made on Monday.

"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," Modi tweeted.

"These women have done great work in a wide range of sectors. Their struggles and aspirations motivate millions," he said.
