Remarkable work done by SHGs in MP to make women self-reliant: Murmu

President Draupadi Murmu has said that remarkable work has been done in Madhya Pradesh to make Women self-dependent through self-help groups. Here about 42 lakh women have been empowered economically and socially by joining SHGs.

These women have been provided bank loans worth Rs 4,157 crore for agricultural and non-agricultural works through the government. Their products have been taken to big markets through ‘one district-one product’ scheme in the state. Products worth more than Rs 535 crore have been sold through the Aajeevika Mart portal.

About 17,000 women have become panchayat representatives in the state. Here are some inspiring success stories of women. Self-help groups have taken the form of a mass movement in Madhya Pradesh.

This has been possible with the efforts of all women and the cooperation of the government. For this, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Madhya Pradesh Government and women all deserve congratulations.

Murmu said that maximum participation of women power is necessary in making a self-reliant and developed India. We have to create such an Environment, so that girls of all classes feel fearless and independent and can make full use of their talents. Wherever work is done under the Leadership of women, sensitivity is also seen along with success. Women must inspire each other. All women must unite and move forward on the path of development.
