Deputy Chief Minister Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya said that it is a matter of immense pride for Uttar Pradesh that 14 'Lakhpati Didis' (women who have become millionaires) from the state have been invited as special guests to the historic Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path, Delhi. He said that by bestowing this national honor upon these women, the Honorable Prime Minister has proven that 'women's power' is the main pillar of the resolve for a developed India.
Shri Maurya said that the invitation extended to these women from self-help groups to participate as special guests in the Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path in the national capital, Delhi, is a matter of pride for Uttar Pradesh. He also congratulated and extended his best wishes to these women. These women will be flagged off by Deputy Chief Minister Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya from his camp office at 7, Kalidas Marg, Lucknow on January 23rd.
Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya concluded by saying that thanks to Prime Minister Modi's vision, today the daughters and daughters-in-law of villages are contributing to nation-building by becoming 'Drone Didis' and 'Lakhpati Didis'. This honor will serve as a source of inspiration for millions of other women in the state. These women have strengthened their economic condition through farming, dairy farming, BC Sakhis (business correspondents), and small industries. The Uttar Pradesh State Rural Livelihoods Mission (UPSRLM) has brought about a revolutionary change in the lives of millions of women associated with self-help groups.
