These Master Trainers further train the Community Resource Persons (CRPs) on business planning, financing and convergence process. The cadre of 3 lakh Community Resource Persons (CRPs), who have been specially trained in business planning and skilling of SHG members, are doing a great service in this regard. Some of these CRPs will also be facilitated. As of now Ministry of Rural Development formed 15 Lakh lakhpati Didi’s while the target for 100 days is 11 lakh lakhpati Didi’s to whom Prime Minister will facilitates.
