Lakhpati Didi Journey :
Ningombam Ibem’s journey began with a humble start after joining the Group. In the early days, she availed a small loan of Rs. 30,000 through the Group, which she used to initiate a modest poultry business. Her keen business acumen and relentless hard work soon paid off, enabling her to expand her ventures into piggery, poultry, turkey, and the bank extended a loan of Rs. 2 lakh to her as an individual and she further received a loan of Rs. 1 lakh. With this financial support, Ningombam Ibem was able to scale her enterprises to new heights. Her poultry business flourished and the profits she earned were reinvested into expanding her livestock and improving her farming techniques. Her life is a powerful reminder that with determination, support and the right opportunities, extraordinary success is within reach for every woman in rural India.
