Muhana:

6 Kms. From Sanganer, a small village consisting over 2000 BPL families. A 13 women CIG was formed and linked with Sanganer based trader (BDSP) M/s Shipli Sansthan, who provided them fine embroidery training on Silk and fine Fabrics. In turn he bought back the textile suit pieces as a marketing support. This activity not only generated confidence amongst the community but has instilled a sense of self reliance amongst them
Today more then 4-5 such groups have sprung up in the village & adjoining villages creating a model for women empowerment through successful BDS approach.
