      Solution

      Statement I is correct India has over 10 crore women enrolled in approximately 91 lakh SHGs, making it the world's largest self-help group network. Statement II is correct the Lakhpati Didi initiative aims to create 3 crore such members who earn at least Rs. 1 lakh per annum through diversified activities including drone operation, solar panel servicing, LED bulb manufacturing, and plumbing. Statement III is incorrect there is no provision of a one-time government grant of Rs. 1 lakh to each Lakhpati Didi. The recognition as a 'Lakhpati Didi' is an outcome marker, not a cash incentive. The support to SHG members comes through skill training, micro-credit through NABARD-linked SHG lending, and livelihood linkages not through a direct cash grant upon achieving the income level.
