Assam Expands Women's Self-Employment Scheme Ahead of Elections

Assam's BJP-led government is accelerating its women's self-employment scheme, aiming to reach 40 lakh beneficiaries by disbursing Rs. 10,000 seed capital. Over 15 lakh women have already received assistance, with many achieving 'Lakhpati' status, boosting household incomes and the rural economy. The initiative, Mukhya Mantri Mahila Udyamita Abhiyaan (MMUA), also offers subsidized loans and further installments for business progress, with similar programs being adopted by other states.
