In Gujarat, the state government is offering women a unique opportunity this Raksha Bandhan by providing free business stalls in Surat. As part of the initiative, Surat Municipal Corporation has allocated 101 stalls at no cost to women, generating 1010 direct jobs. Additionally, the government is supporting these entrepreneurs with loans ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 50,000 to aid in setting up their Rakhi stalls. The initiative also includes training through "Sakhi Mandal" to ensure women acquire essential skills for successful business operations. This effort aims to empower women and enhance their economic prospects during the festive season.
Speaking to ANI, a Rakhi seller said, “Govt is giving women like us to move forward in our lives. We get these kinds of opportunities in Rakhi Mela, and Navaratri Mela. We also get loans according to our need to purchase materials. Because of these stalls we get new recognition.”
