LUCKNOW: Deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Saturday that the dream of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ cannot be achieved till the women of the country become self-reliant. Maurya added that the UP government is making all efforts to empower women by providing them access to skill development to enable them to lead better lives.
Speaking at a programme organized by HCL Foundation in the state capital on Saturday, Maurya said: “The unity envisaged in self-help groups intertwined with skills passed on from one generation to another is a force to reckon with. The power of SHGs must be used to upskill women and aid faster development of the state.”
