New Delhi, July 1: The SHE-LEAPS initiative is being positioned as a key framework to accelerate data-driven development and support the government’s goal of empowering 6 crore ‘Lakhpati Didis’ across the country.
The programme focuses on leveraging data, technology, and digital tools to strengthen women-led entrepreneurship, improve access to financial services, and enhance livelihood opportunities for women in rural and semi-urban areas.
Officials said the initiative aims to integrate women self-help groups and micro-enterprises into a more structured digital ecosystem, enabling better tracking of income growth, credit access, and market linkages.
By promoting data-backed decision-making, SHE-LEAPS is expected to help identify gaps in skill development, expand income-generating opportunities, and improve the scalability of women-led enterprises.
The initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote financial inclusion and strengthen grassroots entrepreneurship, with a focus on enabling sustainable income growth for women across sectors such as agriculture, handicrafts, services, and small-scale manufacturing.
Authorities said the programme will play a significant role in advancing the vision of creating a large base of financially empowered women entrepreneurs, contributing to inclusive and data-driven economic growth.
