Bhopal 21 January 2022: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the members of women self-help groups of Dewas district have taken the initiative to produce bamboo. This is an important step towards women empowerment. The women of the group have taken up the task of bamboo production in one thousand acres of land. The women self-help groups of the state were given the task of stitching uniforms. They performed this task very well. The members of women’s self-help group of Dewas district have received a dividend of Rs one crore from this work.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that I have had a special place for daughters since the very beginning. For their bright future, we started Ladli Laxmi Yojana. The scheme has also increased the sex ratio in the state. In the year 2012-13, there were 912 daughters per 1000, now the ratio has increased to 956 girls per 1000. Attitude towards girls in the society has changed. When sons and daughters move forward together, only then will the cycle of creation continue.
Agreement between women self-help group and Artisan company
In the presence of Chief Minister Chouhan a contract was signed between Women Self-Help Group and Artisan Company with the help of Forest Department. Chief Minister Chouhan said that women of self-help groups would grow bamboo plants on one thousand acres of land. Artisan Company will buy bamboo from the group for 20 years. The company will pay Rs 60 for one bamboo in the first year, Rs 36 in the second year and Rs 16 for the third year. The women of the group will get an income of Rs 1 to 1.5 lakh per acre. A nutritional food factory is also being run by the women’s group in Khatamba village of Dewas district. He said that now the money does not go into the accounts of big contractors, but the money goes to the groups 'accounts'.
More women self-help groups should be formed
Chief Minister Chouhan said that more and more women self-help groups should be formed in the state. Due to this, lower-middle class women get a fixed income every month. In Dewas district, the women of SHG did the work of stitching uniforms, which was worth Rs 5 crore 40 lakhs, in which they got a profit of Rs. one crore. The intention of the government is that every woman should have an income of at least Rs. 10 thousand in a month.

Feeling of satisfaction on seeing Ladli Laxmis

The babies whom I had held in my arms and given certificates, have grown and are studying in Class XI and XII today. Seeing them gives me a feeling of satisfaction. The Chief Minister said that I always used to wonder why should there be discrimination with daughters. This thought came in my mind that when a daughter is born, she should be a millionaire. With this thought in mind, Ladli Laxmi scheme was initiated. At present, about 40 lakh girls are getting the benefit of Ladli Laxmi Yojana in the state. When a girl becomes 21 years old, then she will get an amount of Rs one lakh.
