It is my dream to make two crore lakhpati didis in villages.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lakhpati Didi scheme has already been initiated in some states with the Centre now planning to train around two crore women under the welfare venture, said a senior official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Need For Women to Flourish in Every Field of Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further stressing the need for women to flourish in every field of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official said that the women taking part in the Lakhpati Didi scheme will be trained in skills which include plumbing, LED bulb making, operating and repairing drones among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, more women in comparison to men are studying in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in recent times, PM Modi observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, India&#8217;s approach to women-led development was also acknowledged during the G-20 Summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PM Modi noted, &#8220;The one thing that will take the country forward is women-led development.
