Digital Didi Changing Mindsets, Practices and Narratives
In the heart of Kamrup district, the story of Ms. Sajiya Choudhury and her SoochnaPreneur Centre is a beacon of change, igniting a transformative wave in the lives of her community members.
In the Kamrup district of Assam, community members face multiple hurdles in accessing information and services related to government schemes, financial linkages, basic digital skills and more. The lack of access and digital infrastructure has a profound impact on the lives of the community members. A cluster of women belonging to the vulnerable community were majorly suffering due to lack of connectivity. With a steadfast determination to bridge the digital gap and make essential services accessible to all, Sajiya stepped up to anchor the SoochnaPreneur center at Bihdia Jajikona block in the Malibari village.
In a short span of time, the SoochnaPreneur center became a hub of digital empowerment, rendering a wide range of entitlement delivery, digital literacy and digital financial literacy for this cluster of women. Over 100 RWE’s were equipped with knowledge and skills, transforming their micro-businesses. She also helped more women entrepreneurs to register their food businesses and obtain the necessary licenses to run them smoothly. In her attempt to connect the unconnected through the center, Sajiya has been conducting various awareness programs in various villages in her block since the SoochnaPreneur center is located in a remote location.
