Now you must dream of becoming ‘Crorepati Didis’: Chief Minister Shri vishnu Deo Sai
Raipur (thestates.news) | In the forested interiors of Kabirdham district, a Jan Chaupal under a mango tree turned into a moment of quiet affirmation for women whose lives have changed through self-help groups and livelihood support schemes.
During his visit to Kamrakhol in Lokhan gram panchayat under Sushasan Tihar on May 4, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai sat among villagers and interacted with women who spoke openly about their journey from financial hardship to self-reliance. For many in the remote forest village, the interaction was more than a meeting with Chief Minister. It was a rare moment where years of struggle, labour and gradual progress found recognition.
As women shared their experiences, conversations moved from stories of limited opportunities and economic distress to how self-help groups under the Bihan scheme had helped them build livelihoods and financial confidence. When informed that several women in the area had become “Lakhpati Didis” through the initiative, Shri Sai encouraged them to think beyond small milestones. “You have changed your lives through hard work and confidence. Don’t stop here. Think bigger and move ahead. Now you must dream of becoming ‘Crorepati Didis’,” he told the gathering. The remark drew smiles and applause from women seated at the chaupal.
