Usha Devi’s journey is a powerful example of how entrepreneurship can transform lives and communities. Starting with a loan of 1.5 lakh and a small 60k investment, she leveraged the support from the Promotion of Women-Led Enterprise project to build a thriving masala packing business. Her success didn’t stop at personal growth; by employing others in her village, she helped create sustainable income sources for women and youth, providing them with valuable skills in both business and agriculture.

Her story highlights the ripple effect that access to resources, education, and mentorship can have in empowering women, especially in rural areas. In addition to her masala packing business, Usha’s expansion into cosmetics and utensils further boosted her income, demonstrating the potential for diverse entrepreneurial ventures to fuel both individual and community prosperity.

Usha Devi is not just a businesswoman—she’s a community leader, paving the way for future generations of women entrepreneurs. Her example underscores the importance of supporting women-led initiatives in fostering inclusive economic growth.
