From Household Support to Village Growth: Uttar Pradesh’s Women Lead Change

The chief minister emphasized that women are moving beyond being the backbone of family prosperity to becoming the drivers of village economies and the leaders of Uttar Pradesh’s development story. He asserted that when village women flourish, the entire state becomes truly prosperous and powerful. Connecting rural women to banking, modern agri‑technology and self‑employment creates fresh income streams, while collective action via SHGs transforms communal effort into entrepreneurship, boosting both household earnings and women’s decision‑making power.
