‘Work of women self-help groups is no less than a movement’

Chief Minister Chouhan said that the work of women self-help groups in the state is no less than any movement. These groups have done remarkable work. There was a time when women in Madhya Pradesh were confined to their role in a family. Today the turnover of self-help groups is of more than Rs 20 thousand crores. Women have progressed economically through the activities of the groups. This has increased their self-confidence level. Women are also cooperating in the campaign of facilitating the Anganwadi kendras.
