Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s resolve of women empowerment, self-reliant India and one crore Lakhpati Didi is being realized in Uttar Pradesh by connecting it with rural economy. Milk production is becoming a strong source of regular income for rural women. Due to this, along with strengthening the economic status of women, the income of the families is increasing and new opportunities for employment and self-employment are being created in the villages. The success of women associated with milk production proves that village women have immense potential for economic self-reliance. The government is committed to expanding this model and connecting more and more women with it. Women’s income will increase, the economy of villages will strengthen and Uttar Pradesh will move rapidly in the direction of developed Uttar Pradesh as per the resolve of developed India.
