Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi, 30 May 2023

Under the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Industrial Park (RIPA) scheme, the women associated with Pooja women self-help group Danikundi in the Banshital Gram Panchayat of Marwahi Development Block are earning a substantial income from the fly ash brick business. In the initial phase, the group manufactured 1,17,521 bricks and sold 34,000 of them, resulting in a profit of Rs 17,000. Presently, the group has received an advance order for nearly 2 lakh bricks, and manufacturing work is underway to fulfill the order.

The women in the group are delighted with the success of this business venture. This achievement was made possible through the implementation of such welfare schemes by Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel, who has provided them with valuable employment opportunities. The women in the group have expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel for his visionary initiative.
