Odisha’s Women Shine: 9 Lakh+ Earning 1 Lakh Annually!
Empowering women economically has become the cornerstone of Odisha’s inclusive growth journey, led by the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
The Lakhpati Didi initiative, closely aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, reshapes lives. More than 9.36 lakh women across Odisha now earn ₹1 lakh or more annually, placing Odisha second nationally in women’s empowerment efforts.
Dipanjali Chotray, an entrepreneur from Khordha district, represents the initiative’s success. Supported by the Odisha Livelihoods Mission and PMFME loans, her transformation from sharecropping to a successful businesswoman generating net profits of ₹2,16,000 annually is awe-inspiring.
Odisha’s structured market linkages and events like the Subhadra Shakti Mela, which garnered over ₹5 crore sales, continue to amplify these achievements.
With digital platforms and certifications for wider market access, the initiative uplifts women financially and fosters societal revolution.
As Odisha spearheads inclusive growth, the Lakhpati Didi initiative becomes a beacon for transformative change nationwide.
