Lucknow, Jan 28: The Uttar Pradesh government has announced a bold new goal to elevate women’s economic empowerment by transforming Lakhpati Didis—women earning ₹1 lakh or more annually—into Crorepati Didis, with at least 100 such women targeted in every district of the state.
Building on Lakhpati Didi success
Building on the success of the Lakhpati Didi initiative, which has helped over 18 lakh women in Uttar Pradesh achieve an annual income of ₹1 lakh or more, the government plans to expand training, market linkages and branding support so that more women can grow their ventures into larger, sustainable enterprises.
Focus on skills, markets and entrepreneurship
Officials said that by focusing on self-help groups, enterprise development, skills training and access to national and international markets, women entrepreneurs will be positioned to significantly increase earnings and build larger businesses.
