Bhopal, March 6 (HS). Lakhpati Didi Yojana has given a new dimension to women empowerment in the country and the state. There are 666 lakhpati sisters present in Bhopal district alone. If a woman today has a capital of Rs 1 lakh, she is guaranteed to live with dignity and a better future for her family. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, all the schemes being run for the purpose of women self-reliance have made our mother power strong and self-reliant. Women empowerment lays the foundation of rural development.
Panchayat and Rural Development and Labor Department Minister Prahlad Singh Patel said this in a program organized in village Sarwar of Huzur assembly of Bhopal district on Wednesday. Minister Patel participated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's virtual dialogue program with the sisters of self-help groups of the country. In the program, women of self-help groups of the country watched the live telecast of Prime Minister Modi's virtual address.
Minister Prahlad Patel said that women are being made financially independent through the Namo Drone Scheme. Due to this, productivity and efficiency in the agricultural sector is increasing and women are also getting new employment opportunities. This scheme proved that women can also become participants in the field of technology like men.
He said that I am a farmer from Narsinghpur district, where sugarcane is cultivated. Through systems like drones, our farmers are able to make their crops fertile. Through the Livelihood Mission, a better marketing platform is being provided to the products being prepared by the women of self-help groups. Special efforts are being made to increase the quality of their products as well as increase their income. All these arrangements are making mother power strong and self-reliant. If there is anyone who can protect our culture, it is mother power. It is motherly power that fills the children with values and creates a strong future for them. I believe that the skills of women will thus make the country and the state prosperous.
The whole world is adopting India's way of life
Minister Prahlad Patel said that today the whole world is bowing before the quality of coarse grains (millets). Millets not only free us from diseases but also take care of the nutrition of our body. In the past, coarse grains had great importance which decreased with the changing lifestyle but today coarse grains have made a special place for themselves in the world. He said that the United Nations declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. We delivered vaccines and medicines to more than 100 countries, giving a meaningful shape to Vasudev Kutumbakam Uday in the Corona era. The value of saving the lives of others has been inherited by us in our culture. Today the whole world is adopting our lifestyle and method. Development cannot happen without heritage, preserving this heritage should be our first priority.
