Udupi, Aug 14: Lakshmi Hebbalkar, minister for women’s and children’s welfare and district in-charge minister, expressed her appreciation for the ‘Sanjeevini Supermarket’ started by the members of the Samrudhi Sanjeevini self-help group.

Speaking after inaugurating the supermarket and Aharotsava in the Udupi taluk panchayat premises she said that women may be weaker than men physically but they are mentally stronger than men.

“Sanjeevini supermarket is more amazing than Fab India and Good Earth markets. The Karnataka state government has brought about schemes such
as Gruha Lakshmi, Shakti scheme and Gruha Jyothi to make women self-reliant. All should proceed by inculcating such beliefs,” she said.

She wished that Sanjeevini supermarkets may be opened in all the districts.
