In their own words
समाज सेवा की राह में, कई द्वार मैंने देखे,
पाँच सालों के अनुभव से, जीवन के रंग सीखे।
पर गर्व है उस क्षण पर, जब दस मई 2024 का दिन आया,
उद्योगिनी का संग पाकर, महिला नवचार का नया पथ पाया।
Shahnawaz Mansuri
Project Coordinator, Madhya Pradesh
“Over the last one and a half years, I have grown into an independent and courageous woman who believes she can handle challenges on her own.”
Basanti
Project Associate, Madhya Pradesh
“Working with SHG women to set up a garlic processing unit (seeing them come together, learn new skills, and confidently produce value-added products) was not just an achievement for them, but also for me.”
Shreyansh
Project Associate, Madhya Pradesh
“Udyogini has given me meaningful opportunities to learn. What I value most is the open and encouraging environment, where my ideas are heard and appreciated.”
Srijan Samanta
Associate – MEL, Madhya Pradesh
“I joined Udyogini in 2019, growing from an entry-level Associate to Senior Associate MEL. Udyogini has been a platform of continuous growth.”
Durang Susan Topno
Senior Associate – MEL, Jharkhand
“After joining Udyogini, I started my own tailoring enterprise, and now train nearby women so they too can become self-reliant.”
Sumitra Sahu
Community Resource Person, Chhattisgarh
“I am proud to say that in every village I visit for work, people recognize me as a part of the Udyogini family.”
