‘Gruha Lakshmi’ Money Helps Karnataka Woman Farmer Drill Borewell, Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar Praises Her Effort
Dharwad, Karnataka, May 12: Karnataka Women and Child Development Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar praised a woman farmer from Kalaghatagi after she used funds received under the state’s Gruha Lakshmi scheme to improve her farm life. The minister shared the story on X, saying the government’s five guarantee schemes are changing lives across Karnataka.
We saw the post gaining strong reactions online within hours. Many users called the woman’s decision “smart” and “inspiring” for rural families.
According to Minister Hebbalkar, Mrs. Eravva Bharamappa Angadi saved the money she received under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme and later used it to drill a borewell on her farmland in Dharwad district. Better water access now helps her continue agricultural work with more confidence.

“Our government’s five guarantee schemes are not just promises. They are rays of hope that are transforming people’s lives,” Hebbalkar wrote in her social media post.
The minister also said Eravva proved how a determined homemaker can improve her family’s financial condition through careful planning and hard work.
A related social media embed of Hebbalkar’s post is expected to appear with the article. Local residents from Kalaghatagi reportedly appreciated the recognition given to the farmer.
Gruha Lakshmi remains one of Karnataka’s biggest welfare programs for women. Under the scheme, eligible women heads of families receive Rs 2,000 every month. Government data released earlier showed that more than 1.2 crore women registered for the benefit across the state.
Rural families have started using the money in different ways. Some spend it on children’s education. Others invest in livestock, farming tools, or small businesses.
“Mothers in Karnataka are using Gruha Lakshmi funds for education, small businesses, and farming activities. It gives us immense pride,” Hebbalkar added.
Our sources in Dharwad said water shortages continue to affect several farming areas during summer months. Borewells often become critical for irrigation and crop survival.
Eravva’s story now stands as an example of how welfare money, when used carefully, can create long-term support for farming families in rural Karnataka.
