New Delhi- The prime minister is set to visit Jalgaon on Sunday (August 25). During this visit, he will distribute certificates to 11 lakh lakhpatis. He will also meet with Lakhpati Didis who earn more than Rs 1 lakh annually.

To reach this target, the government will create a revolving fund of Rs 2500 crore and a bank loan of Rs 5000 crore. Under this, 48 lakh members of 4.3 lakh Self Help Groups (SHGs) will be affected. The revolving fund will benefit 48 lakh members of 4.3 lakh Self Help Groups (SHGs), while the bank loan will benefit 25.8 lakh members of 2,35,400 Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
