The main problem in my village arises from the fact that people are not well-informed about the government initiatives designed for them. In vocational education and training institutions, only technical subjects are offered, with no provision for liberal education. This means that alongside technical knowledge, learners miss out on understanding social objectives and human relations of production. In our village, many women are illiterate, which prevents them from sustaining businesses due to financial constraints. However, the most significant lesson I’ve learned is that given the opportunity, a woman can achieve anything. We often express the need for employment since industries haven’t reached rural areas, and agriculture still heavily relies on rain. Therefore, the idea struck me to leverage women’s existing skills, recognizing the market potential for such products. We do home-grown business with cooperation from other women of our community. This initiative bridges rural to urban, tradition to modernity, offering a new approach to business.
