Bhubaneswar, March 24: The Lakhpati Didi initiative has already transformed the lives of over 10 lakh SHG members in Odisha as the state crossed one million milestone in Lakhpati Didi creation.
These are not just numbers but a testament to the determination, resilience, and talent that exists within our rural women, particularly those from remote and tribal areas. Our approach to women’s economic empowerment encompasses not only financial aid but also extensive capacity building, skill enhancement, financial literacy, and market linkages, said an official.
For capturing the income details of the identified potential Lakpati Didis, Government of India has developed a MIS application and web portal known as LokOS. The data is being captured by concerned community resource person at village level and verified by concerned Block Program Manager at Block level.
In a remarkable achievement, Odisha has secured second position in the country in successfully implementing Lakhpati Didi initiatives, the official said.
