A fund of Rs 200 crore has been allocated for this purpose. Additionally, the government plans to open a thousand interest-free stores, prioritizing women, to further boost their economic empowerment.
“In Haryana, almost 55,000 self-help groups have been formed, benefiting over 6 lakh women. Our goal is to see our sisters and daughters reach new heights,” Khattar said.
The Chief Minister also pledged to provide 5000 drones to women across the state, particularly those involved in agriculture, to enhance their productivity and efficiency.

Furthermore, Khattar highlighted the establishment of Sanjha Bazars in five districts, providing women with secure areas to sell their products and earn a livelihood.
“I announced the establishment of Sanjha Bazaars, and within a day, one was opened in Karnal. Another bazaar in Fatehabad is ready for inauguration,” Khattar mentioned.
