Madhuri's story
Madhuri is a 23-year-old married woman residing in South Dinajpur District of West Bengal.
Her husband does vegetable selling business for a living and she also supports him in his work. He purchases fresh vegetables like tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumber, garlic and potatoes from wholesale market and sells them in local market.
She has a household size of 4 and a monthly income of INR 7,900 with savings of INR 3,400. This amount is not enough to look after the household needs and also the educational expenses for the family.
Hence she wishes to increase her family income monthly by expanding the business.

She and her husband are grateful to their lenders.
