However, due to the shop and market exposure, she now confidently communicates with every customer, regardless of gender or age. Her responses mirror the confidence she has gained, and she interacts with people in a manner that reflects her newfound assurance”
Husband, IDI, Maharashtra
“Even tough I am an housewife, I don’t want to sit idly at home. I want to do something in my life. That’s why I decided to join the Shakti Program along with my husband. My husband also encouraged me to do something instead of just being a housewife”
Shakti, IDI, West Bengal
“The way she roams about, the way she talks, the way she introduces herself and mixes with other people has changed. She used to speak less early but now she talks more with people regarding business”
Son, IDI, West Bengal
