Rama Devi, the mother of 3 children, falls under BPL category and having no land for agriculture. The source of income for this family is daily wages, earned by Rama’s husband Sitaram. Since this is a landless family, Sitaram has to work on other’s agricultural plot as a labour or sometime as a bataidaar. They find it difficult to manage their daily food.
In the project Harit Prayas, a Self Help Group/Mahila Mandal was formed, under the guidance of cluster co-ordinator Mrs. Malti Devi, in the month of July, 2011. Rama Devi also joined this group. By the end of October this group had saved Rs. 2600/-. In a monthly meeting of Parvati Mahila Swayam Sahayata Samooh, Rama Devi requested to get a loan of Rs. 2000/- from the group. She wanted to open a Tea-stall in the Imilia village. The members of this group agreed to grant her the loan of requested amount. Then Rama Devi opened the tea-stall in the village itself (October, 2011).
At the tea-stall she keeps Nimki,Pakauri, Samosha and other snacks item. Now she earns Rs. 100-150 /- daily. She has also returned the Rs.1000/- to her group. This tea-stall has become a major source of income for her family. Now economic condition of the family has improved. Rama devi and her family is happy. She has become a source of inspiration for other members of the group and the village.
The project Harit Prayas ensured food security and thus prevented a distress migration, since the tea-stall has been opened in the village only. Rama Devi along with all SHGs members are thankful to the project Harit Prayas. At the same time, Harit Prayas team members are encouraged to assist many more women like Ramadevi.
