May 16, 2024
Rajouri (J&K), May 16 (ANI): The UMEED-NRLM scheme is doing impactful work in empowering women living in the far-flung areas of J&K’s Rajouri. The UMEED scheme encourages women to make small savings so that their Self-Help Groups (SHGs) eventually become bankable at a reduced rate of interest. The programs under the scheme not only provide training to women but also support them in establishing different types of self-employment units in rural areas, enabling women to become independent and start their businesses. The women are creating small business groups like Desi Poultry farms, boutiques, and shops. Women said that earlier they did not have any work and were facing a lot of problems, but after getting the benefits of the UMEED scheme, they got employment at home. Now, women are running their homes as well as businesses.
