Lakhpati Didi Journey
Smt. Manta, a dedicated woman with a small family, faced significant financial challenges. Her husband worked at a private school with a modest salary, while she ran a cosmetic shop that provided only a nominal income. Together, their earnings were insufficient to secure a better future for their family.
In 2015, Smt. Manta joined the Self-Help Group (SHG) of the Haryana State Rural Livelihoods Mission (HSRLM). Through this SHG, she learned about the potential and strength of women, realizing that a woman could also lead her family effectively.
In 2018, under the guidance of the HSRLM scheme, Smt. Manta received training in block printing. This training significantly improved her livelihood, helping her family escape poverty.
Today, Smt. Manta's block-printed bed sheets, sarees, suits, and other items are in high demand at various business fairs and exhibitions. She regularly sets up stalls at these events in Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Chandigarh, Mussoorie, Kurukshetra, Noida, and other locations, where she successfully sells her products. Now, she earns Rs. 8 lakh per annum.
