Answers
Let us take Tamilnadu for example, Government has taken steps to give loan to small-scale unit run purely by women. It is known as “Suya Siru Tholil Munaivor”. These units are run by a group of women and their products are sold by Government units itself. These women make candles, ornaments etc. Loans are also provided to these groups of women. Isn’t it a constructive change?
