The Maharashtra government won't stop the popular 'Ladki Bahin' programme and instead is committed to creating one crore 'Lakhpati Didis', who will earn Rs 1 lakh every year, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Wednesday, reported news agency PTI.

The government will also provide employment opportunities to women by setting up women-led credit societies in villages, he said after launching the statewide 'Mukhyamantri Samruddha Panchayat Raj Abhiyan' at Kingaon in Phulambri taluka in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, reported PTI.
