Reeya Sharma, from Parakha Daragaon in Pakyong district, found herself struggling to find employment after completing her education. Initially helping her father in farming, Reeya was unaware of her entrepreneurial potential until she attended a CRP-EP orientation where she learned about the Start-up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP).
She received comprehensive training, including General Orientation and Entrepreneurship Development, which equipped her with essential business skills and financial management knowledge. Her canteen, started with an initial investment of Rs. 50,000 and generates a monthly income of Rs. 20,000.
Transitioning from a farming assistant to an entrepreneur, She faced several hurdles, including limited financial resources and a lack of knowledge in sourcing raw materials. However, with persistent support from the CRP-EP and the Block Development Officer, she overcame these challenges and established a successful business.
Her enterprise has employed another member from her self-help group, bolstering community employment. Her journey from uncertainty to successful business owner highlights the transformative power of entrepreneurship support programs.
