The women of Uttarakhand have achieved tremendous growth during recent years in various fields across the country. Many rural women are running several local businesses which have boosted their confidence and made them independent which in turn also inspires other women. This was stated by former cabinet minister rank position holder, Santosh Kashyap while talking about the development of women in the state.
According to Kashyap, “The central and state governments have launched many programmes that support women entrepreneurs in their various ventures across the State. Several women in rural areas are successfully running small businesses with the help of loans with minimum interest that facilitate them with the required capital under such programmes.
Women are actively involved in various businesses like animal husbandry and food catering business and becoming financially independent.” She said that Uttarakhand’s women are acing every field across the country whether it be entrepreneurship, army, acting, engineering or medical field. “The situation of women in the State has improved extensively in the last few years.
Women are today more confident, powerful and vocal about their choices. I am certain that the women of Uttarakhand would achieve more success in the future too,” stated Kashyap.
