The Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment published a case study highlighting the economic empowerment journey of Smt Kavita Verma, a resident of Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh. In 2024, Verma received financial assistance of ₹3,42,000 under the NSFDC Refinance Scheme through Madhya Pradesh Gramin Bank, Sehore, Mandi Branch specifically to establish a flour mill (atta chakki) business.
The assistance enabled Verma to overcome limited financial resources and successfully start her enterprise, creating a sustainable source of income that strengthened her family's economic condition. The ministry emphasizes that timely financial assistance plays an important role in helping individuals establish sustainable livelihoods and move toward economic self-reliance.
Verma's case demonstrates how targeted support under the NSFDC Refinance Scheme can help beneficiaries turn entrepreneurial aspirations into viable income-generating activities. The flour mill business continues to operate successfully, serving as an example of how financial assistance enables self-employment and helps build a more secure and self-reliant future for beneficiaries.
