Woman buys washing machine with Gruha Lakshmi savings, CM Siddaramaiah shares video
Bengaluru: A woman who saved her monthly allowance from the state government’s Gruha Lakshmi scheme purchased a new washing machine on the occasion of Mahanavami (Ayudha Puja) and celebrated by performing a traditional ritual.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expressed happiness after sharing a video of the homemaker, B.K. Tulasi from Ramanagara, performing puja to her newly bought washing machine.
“The video of Tulasi, a beneficiary of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, who saved the allowance she received for the last seven months and bought a new washing machine on Mahanavami, doubled my festive joy,” Siddaramaiah said.
He further remarked, “The Gruha Lakshmi scheme was launched with the vision of empowering women. Seeing it bring happiness to a woman during Navaratri, when the strength of women is worshipped, makes the scheme all the more meaningful and purposeful. I hope this scheme continues to bring joy to many more families.”
