The importance of “women-led development” is a key priority of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance agenda, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said while addressing a gathering of nearly 3,000 women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in Moragudi village on Friday.
The Department of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare has released the Operational Guidelines for this scheme and all the stakeholders have been requested to make meaningful use of these operational guidelines to ensure prompt roll out and implementation of the ‘Namo Drone Didi’ Scheme.
This year, over 6,500 women-led SHGs in UP are working in mission mode to produce 2 crore tricolors. Notably, the Yogi government has set an ambitious target of 4.50 crore national flags under the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign for 2024, officials here on Tuesday said.
"Self-help groups have the option whether to sell products directly from the farm or by setting up a food processing unit and sell with great packaging," the Prime Minister said.
In addition, he also released Rs 25 crore as seed money for 7,500 SHGs members under the Prime Minister Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme of Ministry of Food Processing Industries, and Rs 4.13 crore as funds to 75 Farmer Producer Organizations being promoted under the Mission.
