She said that she was educating her two children and her family life had improved after the construction of the house. “In the past nine years, women have been the focus of all government schemes. Women like you give us strength to keep on doing good work,” Modi said.

The Prime Minister asked Kushla Devi to carry on in the same spirit and get the maximum benefit under various other schemes and information contained in the ‘Modi ki Guarantee ki Gaddi’.
