But in terms of economic participation in the household and society, she was lagging behind, seeing this the state government adopted a strategy to connect women with self-reliance. A new path of economic prosperity has been prepared for them by linking them with Gothans and women’s groups. Gothans are becoming self-employment centers for women. Gothans are being developed as Rural Industrial Parks. A large number of women are benefiting from this. Today the women of Chhattisgarh are making a name for themselves in the whole country with their entrepreneurship and ability.

In order for mothers and sisters to progress faster, the state government has not only waived the loan of Rs 13 crore of women groups, but has also doubled the loan limit from Mahila Kosh on low interest. Innovative initiatives like Mukhyamantri Suposhan Abhiyan and Dai-Didi Clinic Yojana have been taken to take care of the health of women. It has yielded positive results, More than one lakh women have become anaemia-free. Women from poor settlements are being treated under the Dai-Didi Clinic Scheme.
