Nahan (Himachal Pradesh), February 26. Women are becoming self-reliant and financially independent by joining Self-Help Groups (SHGs) across various states in the country. They are also greatly benefiting from various women empowerment schemes launched by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the central level. As a result, women today have become financially stronger and more confident.
Women in Nahan, Himachal Pradesh, are also benefiting from government schemes. They are now relying on their own resources rather than seeking help from others. While speaking to the media, women associated with different Self-Help Groups shared their stories of how they gradually became self-reliant.
They stated that the central government, led by PM Modi, has launched several schemes for women's empowerment, including the Pradhan Mantri SVANidhi Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana.
These schemes have greatly benefited many women in Nahan, who have started their own businesses.
Today, women are making products such as papad, namkeen, chutney, pickles, and other homemade goods, and selling them in markets. These products are in high demand and fetch good prices.
They further explained that the SHG women have become so self-reliant that the money collected from selling various products is being used to provide loans at low interest rates to other women in the group, helping them start and expand their own businesses.
Suman, President of the M.C. Self-Help Group, said that many women have become self-reliant.
"We make baskets, small dresses, jackets, women's products, namkeen, and more. We are benefiting from many government schemes. Women in our group have also started their own businesses," she said.
Promila, President of the Disha Self-Help Group, said that many women are benefiting from the schemes launched by the Prime Minister.
"Some are making pickles, some are preparing namkeen, and others are making papad. In this way, women are becoming financially independent," she added.
