'My Dream Is To Make 2 Crore Lakhpati Didis': PM Modi At Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra. WATCH

<p><strong>New Delhi:</strong> Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday interacted with women self-help groups and said his dream is to make two crore 'lakhpati didis'.&nbsp;</p> <p>While addressing the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Varanasi, PM Modi suggested that training women of self-help groups to serve food to guests at events could lead to a reduction in food wastage and ensure good service.</p> <p>"In recent times, the trend of buffets at events has emerged. People feel they won't get more, so they fill their plates and end up leaving half of the food. If the women in your self-help group receive training in serving food and are equipped with aprons and gloves, it can lead to a reduction in food wastage and ensure excellent service," he said while speaking to a woman from the group.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">VIDEO | PM Modi interacts with self-help group women workers at Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Barki village, Varanasi. <a href="https://t.co/luG0QK99uP">pic.twitter.com/luG0QK99uP</a></p> &mdash; Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) <a href="https://twitter.com/PTI_News/status/1736666223457263723?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 18, 2023</a></blockquote> <p> <script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script> </p> <p>Earlier in the day, PM Modi also flagged off four trains at the Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra in Varanasi, including the second Vande Bharat train between Varanasi and New Delhi.
