PM hails work done by women self-help groups, says they can connect villages with prosperity

Date:

Taking a swipe at the previous governments, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said for years, the amount of effort that should have been put in to economically empower women was not made and asserted that his dispensation is constantly creating an environment in which women self-help groups can connect villages with prosperity.

Participating in the “Aatmanirbhar Narishakti se Samvad” (dialogue with self-reliant women), the prime minister interacted with the women self-help groups (SHGs) promoted under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) via video-conferencing.

He also released capitalisation support funds to the tune of Rs 1,625 crore to over four lakh SHGs.

In addition, Modi also released Rs 25 crore as seed money for 7,500 SHG members under the PMFME (PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises) scheme of the Ministry of Food Processing Industries and Rs 4.13 crore as funds to 75 FPOs (farmer producer organisations) being promoted under the mission.

In his remarks, the prime minister said in a changing India, opportunities are increasing for the sisters and daughters of the country to move forward.
