A hundred rural women in Uttar Pradesh will now spread their wings, thanks to Digital Sakhi, the flagship CSR project of L&T Finance (LTF).

 

The project will train these women to spread digital and financial literacy to rural communities across 400 villages in Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh. They will identify and provide training to 1,000 rural women entrepreneurs, enabling them to expand and strengthen their micro-businesses.

 

The project bolsters United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 5 - Gender Equality. LTF has set a target to reach over five lakh people in Uttar Pradesh under this project by the end of 2028.

 

The Digital Sakhi initiative has already readied a regiment of over 1,770 women who have spread digital and financial literacy to over 45 lakh individuals and have helped upskill over 14,000 women entrepreneurs in various states.

 

The CSR initiative makes a significant impact on the lives of rural women and their families, fostering financial inclusion, entrepreneurship and sustainable development – and giving them the immeasurable benefit of social uplift.
