What is the News?
Government is planning skill development training for two crore women under the ‘Lakhpati Didi’ scheme.
What is the Lakhpati Didi Scheme?
Aim: To provide skill development training to women to encourage them to establish micro-enterprises so that they can earn at least Rs 1 lakh annually.
Target: Government’s goal is to create two crore “lakhpati didis” (prosperous sisters) in villages through women self-help groups(SHGs).
Skills covered: The women would be trained in skills like plumbing, LED bulb making and operating and repairing drones among others.
– Initially women in around 15,000 self-help groups (SHGs) would be trained to fly and repair drones.
– This training will not only create new avenues for income generation but also equip women with cutting-edge skills.
