Finance Minister said "In words of our visionary leader Shri Naveen Patnaik, 'no household, society, state and country has ever moved forward without empowering its women'. He believes that women hold the key to societal transformation. Mission Shakti has transformed the lives of more than 70 lakh women by organizing them into more than 6 lakh Self Help Groups and strengthening them through income generating activities. With continuous financial support, skill development training and new livelihood avenues, the State Government aims to empower every woman".

He added "I propose an outlay of Rs. 2,554 crore for the Department of Mission Shakti which is 27 percent more over the BE for 2022-23.
