Lakhpati Didi Journey :
Ibesana harboured a strong desire to achieve financial independence. However, lacking any initial capital rendered her aspirations futile, hindering her from embarking on any entrepreneurial endeavours. The advent of the Self Help Group in her life marked a significant turning point. Not only did it revolutionise her financial situation, but it also elevated her social standing. Through prudent savings accumulated within her group, she secured a loan amounting to Rs. 30,000, which she utilized to establish a modest grocery store in her village. Leveraging her regular savings and the substantial profits generated by her shop, she ventured into livestock by acquiring two piglets and initiated potato cultivation on her own land. Ibesana now enjoys a monthly income ranging from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 30,000 from her various sources of revenue.
