Banks Disburse Over Rs 11 Lakh Crore in Loans to Women SHGs

The government has given out a lot of loans, over Rs 11 lakh crore, to groups of women in rural areas, called self-help groups or SHGs.

This is part of a program to help women start their own businesses and earn more money.

The government wants to make sure that women in villages can become financially independent.

The loans come with help like lower interest rates.

These loans are given out by banks with the help of people called 'Bank Sakhis.'

The program is going well, with almost all the loans being paid back on time.

This is helping to change the economic situation for many women in rural India.
