“Empowerment of our women is my topmost priority. Mission Shakti launched in 2001 has become a mass movement with nearly 50 lakh women. This initiative will also give a boost to the MSME sector which is another high focus area for my Government. The MSME sector plays a major role in employment generation, GDP and exports. I congratulate the MSME Department, Directorate of Mission Shakti and Facebook for the joint initiative. I am sure this will empower our people to aspire high and turn dreams into reality” said Naveen in facebook post.
