Indra Meena

Namkeen Unit in Udaipur.

Indra is a single mother and the sole breadwinner in her family. When her husband left, she made the courageous decision to continue living at her in-laws' house and forge a path to self-sufficiency. Joining the Sakhi self-help group marked a turning point in her life. Initially, the members secretly saved money each month, fearing potential opposition from their families. Over time, as the positive impact of the group became increasingly apparent, the families not only accepted their efforts but also openly started supporting them. For Indra, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from doing everything independently is immeasurable. Indra's story is a testament to the transformative power of collective effort.

IN HER WORDS

"The Namkeen Unit opening near my home has been a true blessing for me. Every day, I eagerly anticipate coming here, working alongside my fellow Sakhis, and learning the art of crafting delicious namkeen. Our namkeen is honestly the best I have ever tasted because we witness all the ingredients, use pure cold-pressed oil, and in-house spices, ensuring its freshness and purity. Today, I proudly stand on my own two feet, supporting my son's education and managing the household. These didis are not just colleagues; they are like my sisters and family, forming a support system that uplifts and empowers us all."
