Sharing the success of her initiative "Didi K Bolo" on completion of its 500 days on Thursday, Banerjee tweeted: "I'm pleased at the completion of 500 Days of my initiative 'Didi Ke Bolo'. Over this course, 28 Lakh people reached out to the helpline 91370 91370 with more than 80 Lakh interactions taking place. I thank each one of you for your support & response. #500DaysOfDidiKeBolo."

Stating how the suggestions helped in reaching out to people in providing them benefits under state-run schemes, Banerjee further stated in her tweet: "Through feedback received on @DidiKeBolo, GoWB implemented the 6th Pay Commission, expanded Samajik Suraksha Yojana & started programmes like Pathashree, Duare Sarkar, Paray Samadhan, Jai Johar, Sneher Paras, Prochesta Prakalpa, Taposili Bandhu and many others."

Besides the helpline number, there is also provision of digital access to Didi through www.didikebolo.com.
