1.56 crore women got the benefit of ten thousand rupees, now they will get Rs 2 lakh each
State Bureau, Patna. Giving credit to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for women empowerment in Bihar, Rural Development Minister Shravan Kumar said on Tuesday that by joining livelihood, women have become self-reliant and also aware of their rights. Women who are becoming self-reliant in rural areas no longer have the compulsion to extend their hands to anyone.
He said that under the Chief Minister Mahila Rozgar Yojana, 1.56 crore women have been given assistance of Rs 10,000 each. To carry forward the work that these women have started for employment, further support of Rs 2 lakh each will be given in the coming days. This will empower women in every way.
The Minister said that his statement in Jeevika's Community Voices Conclave program was supported by Jeevika didis with thunderous applause. Jeevika Didis, who did excellent work in the event held at Gyan Bhawan, were also honored with mementos. Women associated with Jeevika groups from across the state were present in the program.
Principal Secretary of the department, Pankaj Kumar said that women will have to be financially empowered to prepare nutritious food in the kitchen. Smriti Sharan, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development, said that Jeevika Didis of Bihar have set a great example of women empowerment in the country.
Health Department Secretary Lokesh Kumar Singh said that social balance has been improved through livelihood. The health system at the rural level is functioning smoothly with the support of livelihood. Social Welfare Department Secretary Vandana Preyasi said that Bihar has the largest network of livelihood in the country. We can fulfill the vision of a developed India by the year 2047 by making every child and his mother healthy. This is possible only in collaboration with livelihood.
