Reshma says, “the Mann Deshi has shown us the way of life.”
Reshma comes from a poor family,due to her family conditions she was not able to continue her studies. Due to added responsibility on her father to finance the education of his three brothers, she got married early.
But condition of her husband family was also not that good. For first 2-3 years the income of her husband was not enough to fulfill their family needs. One day, in the weekly market she receive the pamphlet for Mann Deshi Udyogini (B-school for rural women) and enrolled business development workshop from which she got an idea of starting a shop- stationary needed for marriage business. Now Reshma has started the shop. Then she also enrolled financial literacy workshop through which in order to increase the business, she approached the Mann Deshi bank for the loan.
