Before joining, Neetu and her husband ran a small ironing business from their home, but they faced financial difficulties.

She took a loan of Rs. 10,000 from the Self-Help Group to invest in her laundry business for purchasing better equipment. This helped her improve the quality of service and increased her customer base. Later, through the Chief Minister’s Self-Employment Scheme, She secured a loan of Rs. 50,000, which allowed them to open a dry-cleaning shop.
