Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has announced ambitious plans to empower women in the state by turning women’s groups into millionaires capable of competing with industrial giants like Adani and Ambani.

The Chief Minister highlighted the significance of showcasing women’s skills and talents on a global scale. “We have set up stalls in Hi-Tech City to demonstrate the power and expertise of women to the world. Women groups have an important role in showcasing their strength in an impactful way,” he said.
