Over 34,000 women in Navsari have embraced self-employment through government schemes, transforming into financially independent ‘Lakhpati Didis’ and even millionaires.

Sangeeta Solanki from Shahu village, once struggling with low income from tailoring, took a Mudra loan and set up a Bank Mitra unit at home. Expanding her services to PAN, Aadhaar, and bill payments, she now earns Rs 10,000 per month, thanking the Modi government for her success.

Similarly, Jignasaben Mistry from Moldhara village leveraged the Sakhi Mandali Yojana to turn her passion for artificial jewellery into a thriving business. With government support for raw materials, she now sells her products at exhibitions, earning over Rs 1 lac annually.
