UPA govt's 'Priyadarshini' scheme closed: Maneka
'Priyadarshini', a UPA-initiated scheme to train women to become self-sufficient, was closed as it was a "very bad programme", Union Minister Maneka Gandhi said on Thursday. It was found that there was "absolutely no work on the ground", she added. "The entire project had very little to do with women and more... with people who own the NGOs," she said.
