Informing that the firm had exported 11 lakh units and aims to reach 20 lakh units soon, Yadav said, "I bow to the hardworking sisters who are the backbone of this progress. For me, my sisters are everything." Employment in textile mills in Ujjain have gone up from 5000 earlier to 20000 now, and the figure continues to grow, he pointed out.
"Industries are coming to Ujjain. Investors are showing interest in Madhya Pradesh. This is creating jobs, which is a matter of pride for our state, both nationally and internationally," he said.
The MP government is providing Rs 5,000 to the women working in the company, under various state-run schemes, and more welfare initiatives are in the pipeline, Yadav added.
The Ladli Behna Yojana was launched on June 10, 2023 from Jabalpur by the previous Shivraj Singh Chouhan government. It is seen as one of the primary reasons for the BJP's emphatic win in the 2023 assembly polls.
According to offficials, of the Rs 27,147 crore special budget earmarked for women, a sum of Rs 18,699 crore is for the Ladli Behna Yojana.

Min mandates use of Made in India goods in 3 depts
1 2 Jaipur: Cabinet minister Madan Dilawar announced Wednesday that only Made in India products must be used in education, Panchayati Raj, and Sanskrit education departments. He said only products not available in the country and requiring imports can be used after approval from the minister. "This initiative has been started to realise the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India campaign . This will increase the use of goods manufactured in India, and it will also have a positive impact on our economy. Many foreign countries earn profit from us by selling their products in India, but they use that money to help our enemy country," said Dilawar. Speaking to TOI, he added that if any foreign product is used in these departments, personal recovery will be done from the officer concerned. "If any officer or employee of these departments purchases foreign goods, then not only will strict action be taken against them, but the payment of the purchased goods will also be recovered from them," said Dilawar. He also appealed to women ahead of Rakshabandhan to purchase only indigenous products for the festival. "If you go to the market to buy Rakhi, buy only locally made Rakhi made by our Indian artisans. Boycott foreign Rakhis, especially those made in China, do not buy them. With this, you will not only serve the country but also provide employment to fellow citizens. Adopt Swadeshi and make the country strong," he said. Reacting to the announcement, state Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra said that the decision was inappropriate and irrational decision.
