Six women receive grants to restart first-generation businesses

Six women who started businesses without family money are getting help.

Each will receive ₹2 lakh over one year.

Their businesses had run into money problems.

One recipient, Debangshi Biswas Chowdhury, had to close her online business after six months.

She said the grant could help her start it again.

The support is part of an initiative called Krittika Samriddhi.

It will also offer training and help the women connect with markets.

The recipients include women building a nail art studio and a confectionery business.
