Her family’s monthly income increased substantially, and she also started earning extra income through Community Resource Person (CRP).
Today, Sunita’s family is self-sufficient, and she has become a proud owner of a motorbike, which has facilitated her dairy business and transportation needs. She has also benefited from the Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana and has become a confident and independent individual.
