On the day, financial assistance of over Rs 450 crore was credited to 15 lakh women in a single click.

Emphasising India’s four pillars of development—women, youth, the poor, and farmers—the Prime Minister said the projects launched in Dhar will strengthen the nation’s journey towards a developed India.
