Lakhpati Didi Journey:
Born into a tribal family, Jyoti struggled to complete her 10th-grade education. She joined Ganga Self Help Group and took her first loan of ₹5,000 to buy a sewing machine, and started a tailoring business in her village. With additional loans from the Self Help Group and bank, she expanded her business by setting up a Matching Centre and purchasing materials. She also sells clothes in local markets and nearby areas. Her financial condition has significantly improved, and she now earns 16,000 per month. Today, she inspires other women to break the cycle of poverty through self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
