Andhra links PMFME with Stree Nidhi for DWCRA women entrepreneurs

A state called Andhra Pradesh wants to help women who live in villages start their own food businesses.

These women are part of a group called DWCRA.

The government has joined two special programmes to make this possible.

Women can borrow money, up to three lakh rupees, from a group called Stree Nidhi.

They can also get extra financial help from another programme called PMFME.

With this support, they can make things like pickles, snacks, spices, and foods from fruits and vegetables.

The women will also get help with planning, packaging, branding, and selling their products.

The government wants these women to become business owners who can create jobs for other people too.

This way, they can become economically independent and build a better future for themselves.
