Lakhpati Didi Journey
Babita Devi, has turned her life through determination and entrepreneurial spirit. As the secretary of the Jyoti Self Help Group, her journey from modest beginnings to becoming a “Lakhpati Didi” is an inspiring narrative of success.
Babita’s early life was marked by financial struggle. She was elected as the secretary of the Jyoti Self Help Group. She initially used a loan of Rs. 30,000 to invest in her husband’s grocery business, leading to a slight increase in their income. The real breakthrough came with the opening of Muskaan Parlour and Pooja Bhandar. Babita combined a beauty parlour with a general store. The parlour business, along with her general store, has allowed Babita to achieve an average monthly income of Rs. 30,000. Her success has also enabled her to support her children’s education and improve her family’s living standard.
