Adjacent to her house, she made a little stall with wood and tin. She sells the daily requirements of a family, such as, eggs, biscuits, chocolates, bottle of water, cold drinks, shampoo-pouch, washing-powder, tooth brush with paste, potatoes and onion etc. For this venture, she took Rs.20,000/- loan from Matri Prochesta . Since her shop was just beside her home, she was able to look after her family and the shop with little adjustment. Her husband works in a small chemical factory in the locality. He helped her to purchase the material from whole sale market. Now she was able to earn about 150 rupees per day. From the selling of goods, she is able to assist the expense of her family and to pay the monthly installment of the loan amount. The financial assistance changed her from a dependent house-wife to daily earner. She was agreed to give more labor for the extension of her stall and had a wish to increase gradually her earnings.
