Mission Shakti 4.0: UP set to give mega push to women related schemes
The chief minister’s intention is not just to make women feel secure in the state but also to ensure they have knowledge about all the government schemes meant for them.
The Uttar Pradesh government is set to launch a mega campaign to give momentum to the schemes for women in the state. On the instructions of the chief minister Yogi Adityanath, the women and child development department will organise various mega events and campaigns under Mission Shakti 4.0 to make women aware of their rights in the coming days, according to a government press release.
The chief minister’s intention is not just to make women feel secure in the state but also to ensure they have knowledge about all the government schemes meant for them. This will enable them to avail maximum benefits from these programs.
