Lucknow, 26 July (HS): On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended

Vidur Prerna Swadeshi Herbal Tea made by a women-led Self-Help

Group (SHG) from Lakhiwala village in Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, on the

136th episode of his monthly radio show, Mann Ki Baat. Uttar Pradesh Chief

Minister Yogi Adityanath thanked the Prime Minister, saying that this

recognition has given the state's women-led entrepreneurship a national

identity and serves as a powerful example of the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' and

'Vocal for Local' programs. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stressed through

official channels that the double-engine government in Uttar

Pradesh is consistently boosting rural prosperity by connecting over 250,000

women in the Bijnor district alone to self-help organizations, encouraging

financial self-reliance and local employment.

“Honorable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodiji, in today's @mannkibaat program, highlighted the 'Vidura Prerna

Swadeshi Herbal Tea' prepared by the maternal power of Lakhiwala village in

Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, thereby giving national recognition to this

inspiring initiative of the state's maternal power. 'Vidura Prerna Swadeshi

Herbal Tea' is a powerful example of the resolve of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and

'Vocal for Local'. Mothers and sisters connected with self-help groups have

demonstrated through their labor, self-confidence, and innovation that even a

small effort can become the foundation of great change,” mentioned UP CM in a

post on X.

“Through the schemes of the double-engine government, the state's maternal

power is today shaping a new identity of self-reliance, self-employment, and

rural prosperity. Heartfelt thanks to Prime Minister ji for encouraging and

boosting the morale of the state's maternal power by giving this inspiring
