Imagine a program that helps women in villages become financially independent.

Odisha is doing just that with the Lakhpati Didi initiative.

They're helping women earn over Rs 1 lakh per year.

This program gives women in self-help groups (SHGs) loans and training to start businesses.

The government is also increasing the funds available to these groups.

The goal is to have many more women succeeding in business, contributing to the rural economy.

This initiative boosts their confidence and helps them become leaders in their communities.
