Success Story: Neetu Devi, a resident of Ujiarpur in Samastipur, was successful in the sewing business by taking a loan from the Jeevika Group. Now they have 12 sewing machines and dozens of women work. Orders are also received from the district administration.
Neetu Devi now has 12 sewing machines and dozens of women work with her every day. These women also come to learn sewing work and earn wages. Neetu Devi not only achieved self -reliance herself, but has also made many more women of the village self -sufficient.
Neetu Devi has now started getting many types of orders from the district administration. Be it the dress of the children of Anganwadi or the tricolor flag stitching on the national festivals. Every responsibility is being entrusted to Neetu Devi’s team. In a conversation with Local 18, he told that he has received an order to sew flags for August 15. There is a plan to prepare more than 5000 flags this year. Last year, he handed over 2500 flags to the district administration in just two days.
Jeevika became Sahara
He says that ‘those who work hard are never defeated’, and that is why they are self -sufficient today and are also supporting others. Neetu Devi has now become a symbol of women empowerment. Neetu says that if the intentions are strong, then the fate can be changed with a machine.
