From Homemaker to Digital Leader.

Darti’s journey in Eklar Village, Bidar, Karnataka, began with an opportunity to build her skills through the Digital Sakhi Project.

With training in Digital literacy, Financial inclusion, Entrepreneurship and Leadership, she began helping families access Digital financial services and Government schemes.

Through household visits and financial literacy sessions, Darti helped villagers access savings, insurance, pensions, digital payments and government services, contributing to 100% SIP coverage in Eklar.

With ₹50,000 in gap funding, she established her own Digital Seva Kendra, turning her community work into a sustainable livelihood for herself and her family.

When women have the confidence to plan, they can build stronger businesses.

The Women Entrepreneurs Business Plan Competition was organised in the Peraiyur Cluster under the Digital Sakhi Project, Madurai, Tamilnadu with 16 women entrepreneurs and 10 Digital Sakhis participating.

Women entrepreneurs presented their business ideas, expansion plans, future goals and financial requirements, gaining an opportunity to strengthen their business planning and entrepreneurial confidence.

A Business Plan Need Assessment also explored financial linkages, government schemes and market linkages to support their next steps.

We thank the supporting team and partners for contributing to this initiative and creating a space for women entrepreneurs to learn, plan and grow.

What support do you think women entrepreneurs need most to grow their businesses?

From learning about natural farming to practising it with their own hands.

Farmers often want to reduce their dependence on chemical inputs, but making that shift requires practical guidance and confidence.

That is what brought 55 farmers together at Dibbaguda Village for a hands-on natural farming session led by Shiv Prasad, who brings 12 years of experience in Natural Farming and ZBNF training.

Farmers participated in live demonstrations of Beejamrutam, Jeevamrutam, Ghanajeevamrutam, Dashaparnika Kashayam and Neemastram, learning practical methods for seed treatment, soil nourishment and natural pest management.

By turning knowledge into practice, farmers are taking meaningful steps towards healthier soils, reduced external inputs and more sustainable farming.

Follow us as we continue working with communities towards resilient and dignified livelihoods.
