With a little persuasion from family and Samuh Sakhi, Manju joined a Sakhi Self-Help Group (SHG) which not only provided her with the financial assistance to open a Parantha shop but additionally upskilled her by providing holistic training on preparation of different kinds of pickles, papad, and mangodi. Today with the support extended by Hindustan Zinc, Manju proudly earns around Rs. 20,000/month through her business, ensuring a secured future for herself & her family.
