In a significant move towards enhancing rural women's skills, the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Skill Development have signed an agreement aimed at empowering self-help group members.
The collaboration is seen as a crucial step in the 'Lakhpati Didi' mission, part of the broader Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) strategy, aimed at producing three crore women entrepreneurs across rural India by 2047.
Training initiatives will be supported through various national institutes, with customised modules set to enhance digital literacy and market access, securing a prosperous future for rural women and aligning skill development with their aspirations.
