The 'Lakhpati Didis' initiative is designed to ensure that women earn at least Rs 1 lakh annually. Since its launch, over one crore women have reached this financial benchmark, with the BJP government aiming to increase this number to three crore.
During his visit, Modi will oversee the distribution of a Rs 2,500 crore revolving fund aimed at benefiting approximately 48 lakh members of 4.3 lakh self-help groups (SHGs). The PM will also disburse Rs 5,000 crore in bank loans, which will aid 25.8 lakh members of 2.35 lakh SHGs.
The scheme focuses on enhancing economic self-sufficiency among women by supporting them through SHGs, which provide a platform for women to save, access credit, and start small businesses. The revolving fund and bank loans are intended to boost the financial capabilities of these groups, enabling them to expand their businesses and improve their economic standing.
The BJP government's initiative has been successful in empowering women and promoting financial inclusion. The 'Lakhpati Didis' program has not only improved the economic condition of women but also promoted entrepreneurship and self-employment among them.
Modi's visit to Jalgaon is expected to boost the morale of women in the region and encourage them to take up entrepreneurship and self-employment opportunities. The event is also expected to promote the government's schemes and initiatives aimed at empowering women.
Following his visit to Maharashtra, Modi will head to Jodhpur, Rajasthan, to participate in the platinum jubilee celebrations of the Rajasthan High Court. He will be the chief guest at the concluding ceremony, held on the High Court campus, and will also inaugurate the new high court museum during his visit.
