Economy & Women’s Empowerment
The Shilp Didi Programme is a government initiative designed to economically empower women artisans by providing them with training, digital literacy, and access to wider markets through both e-commerce platforms and physical exhibitions.
Launched in 2024 with a 100-day pilot phase starting in June, the programme is implemented by the Ministry of Textiles through the Office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts).
