The real turning point came during a Self Help Group meeting when it was announced that Mission was actively identifying women farmers interested in goat rearing to provide them with targeted training and financial assistance. Eager to fulfill her long-standing dream, Mahalakshmi immediately registered her name on the beneficiary selection list.
She was sanctioned a loan of Rs. 1 Lakh, using these funds, She purchased 10 goats. Under her careful rearing, the goats gave birth to 16 kids. After raising them for three months, she sold 10 of the kids at a rate of Rs. 6,500 each, generating a strong revenue of Rs. 65,000.
