From PM-KISAN To Lakhpati Didi: How Modi's Schemes Changed Rural India

Over the past 12 years, the Modi government has focused on empowering farmers and women through targeted welfare schemes. Under PM-KISAN, over ₹3.70 lakh crore has been transferred directly to farmer families, benefiting crores of farmers across the country. At the same time, initiatives such as the Lakhpati Didi program, Self-Help Groups, MUDRA loans, and PM Awas Yojana have boosted women's financial independence and entrepreneurship. With over 2 crore Lakhpati Didis, crores of women-led businesses, and direct support for farmers, these schemes have played a key role in transforming rural livelihoods and strengthening India's grassroots economy.
