From Seva Teerth, PM Modi Clears Big-Ticket Welfare Push For Women, Farmers

In a significant move aimed at enhancing welfare for women and farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a series of initiatives during the Seva Teerth event. Among the key decisions is the doubling of the 'Lakhpati Didis' program, which empowers women by facilitating their entry into entrepreneurship and financial independence. Additionally, the government plans to bolster the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund, aimed at upgrading facilities and resources for farmers, thereby promoting sustainable agricultural practices. These initiatives reflect the government's commitment to addressing socio-economic challenges and improving the livelihoods of marginalized sections of society, particularly women and those in the agriculture sector. This welfare push is part of a broader strategy to enhance economic resilience and promote gender equality in rural areas, ensuring that both women and farmers have the support and resources they need to thrive.
