Congratulations to the women of Kerala. It is heartening to see our work in Delhi and Punjab inspiring other state governments to launch such impactful welfare schemes.
When we first launched this initiative in Delhi, we observed its immense potential. Women could seek work anywhere without the burden of commuting costs. Female students could pursue education without financial anxiety.
