Nellore Collector fulfills promise, gives Rs 80,000 cheque to entrepreneur
A district leader named Himanshu Shukla made a promise to help a woman in his district.
The woman's name is Yeddula Kalyani, and she lives in a small village called Jangala Kandriga.
Kalyani sells bananas and mangoes to earn money.
She also makes a special plant food called organic manure using cow dung and other ingredients.
She wanted to buy a machine that costs Rs 80,000 to make neem seed powder for her business.
She asked the Collector for help during a village meeting in June.
The Collector liked her hard work and promised to give her the money from his own pocket.
On Monday, he kept his promise and gave her a cheque for Rs 80,000.
This shows that keeping promises can help people grow their small businesses.
District Collector Himanshu Shukla handed a Rs 80,000 cheque to Yeddula Kalyani at the Nellore Collectorate on Monday.
The payment fulfilled a promise made during a 'Palle Veekshana' public grievance redressal programme held in her village on June 19.
