State authorities will illuminate major Karnataka monuments in pink to mark the anniversary of the Gruha Lakshmi women‑empowerment scheme.
The Karnataka government announced that a selection of the state’s most recognizable landmarks will be illuminated in pink on the day marking the anniversary of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme. The lighting programme is intended to highlight the women‑focused financial initiative and generate public awareness about its objectives.
Officials said the pink illumination will be deployed across key sites in Bengaluru and other major cities, creating a visible tribute that aligns with the scheme’s branding. The move follows a pattern of using symbolic lighting to draw attention to social programmes.
The Gruha Lakshmi scheme, launched to provide low‑interest loans and financial literacy to women, celebrates its milestone this year. By lighting monuments pink, the administration hopes to reinforce the scheme’s message of empowerment and encourage broader participation.
The lighting is scheduled to commence in the evening and remain on for several hours, allowing residents and visitors to view the transformed skyline. Authorities have urged the public to share images on social media to amplify the campaign’s reach.
