Women of UP are becoming creators of rural economy and makers of destiny of new India: CM Yogi

Lucknow, Oct 14 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath paid his respects at the feet of Maa Kushmanda on the Chaturthi of Sharadiya Navratri on Wednesday.
He also shared the message of worshipping Maa Kushmanda, the eternal symbol of creation, energy, and prosperity, with the people of the state. He said that where women gain power and opportunity, poverty transforms into hard work, hard work into self-reliance, and self-reliance into prosperity.
The Chief Minister wrote in a post on 'X' that the women of Uttar Pradesh are no longer just beneficiaries of development but are becoming the creators of the rural economy and the makers of the destiny of new India. Before 2017, women had neither opportunities nor resources, nor did the government have the policy and intention.
The Chief Minister said that today, under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state's double-engine government is connecting village women to a new path of self-reliance. BC Sakhis are a powerful link to banking services in villages. Lakhpati Didi has become a new symbol of economic independence. Drone Didi is pioneering modern technology in farming. Self-help groups and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) are expanding livelihood, entrepreneurship, and agriculture-based employment opportunities for rural women.
The Chief Minister wrote that women are now not only the foundation of family prosperity but are also becoming the drivers of the village economy and leaders of the New Uttar Pradesh's development journey. Only when village women prosper will Uttar Pradesh truly become prosperous and empowered.
