He said the Self Help Groups reflect the potential of women-led development in India.
While continuing his three-day visit to YSR Kadapa under the Aspirational Districts Programme (ADP), the minister's engagements underscored key developmental priorities, including women's empowerment, education, infrastructure, and tourism.
Dr. Singh travelled to Moragudi village, where he engaged with women-led Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
These groups are playing a transformative role in empowering rural women by promoting financial literacy, food processing, and the production of handloom and millet-based products.
Supported by central schemes such as the PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME), these SHGs represent a beacon of hope for economic self-reliance.
