The state government wants to support women who have shown strong progress under the Chief Minister’s Women Employment Scheme. Earlier, many Jeevika Didis received ₹10,000 as seed money to start small businesses and self-employment activities.

Now, the government plans to track women who have increased their income after getting this support. The survey will help officials find women who are close to earning ₹1 lakh annually and guide them further.

Around 31 lakh women in Bihar are already recognised as “lakhpati didis.” The new step aims to expand this number by offering skill training, guidance, and possible financial help.

Officials believe this approach will strengthen rural livelihoods and encourage women to become independent entrepreneurs. The move also reflects the government’s focus on women-led economic growth.

If implemented well, the scheme could help thousands of women take the next big step in their income journey.

The distribution will be carried out in two phases. The first phase begins today and continues until December 9, which is celebrated as Telangana Talli Avatarana Day. During this phase, sarees will be distributed in rural areas. The second phase will run from March 1 to March 8, marking International Women’s Day, and sarees will be provided in urban regions.

Weavers in Sircilla have prepared nearly 55 lakh sarees for the program. Another five lakh sarees are under production and will be ready soon. The government aims to support women and boost local handloom employment through this initiative.

Officials say the program highlights the government’s commitment to empower women. The large-scale distribution is expected to benefit lakhs of families across Telangana.
