Aajeevika Mission Empowers Labourer to Lakhpati Didi
Krishna Kapasiya, who used to work as a daily wage labourer, has become a 'Lakhpati Didi' thanks to the Aajeevika Mission.
She got a loan to start a small beauty parlour and later helped many other women in her village.
Now, she runs a banking kiosk, earns a good income, and is an inspiration to many.
She was even invited to the Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi.
Her story shows how small loans and support can help people improve their lives.
Krishna Kapasiya, a former daily wage labourer, has become a 'Lakhpati Didi' through the Aajeevika Mission.
She received a Rs 20,000 loan from the Community Investment Fund to start a small beauty parlour in 2019.
Krishna later served as a Community Resource Person, forming self-help groups and linking around 500 women with the mission.
She was selected as a Bank Sakhi, facilitating SHG and village organisation accounts and helping mobilise loans worth crores.
