GRASSROOT STORY OF PARIVARTAN

EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Kangra:  Usha Devi is a resident of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. She faced quite a few challenges in finding an opportunity to earn. It has particularly been difficult for women given patriarchal mindset is still at play. She was unable to realize her dreams of being an entrepreneur and being financially independent.

HDFC Bank Parivartan helped Usha Devi in establishing her tailoring business in Kangra. She was provided the necessary tools and training to make her business a success.

Today, Usha Devi is the proud owner of ‘7 Colours’ Boutique. As a successful entrepreneur, she has become financially independent, has gained social recognition and has become an inspiration for young girls. Other women now follow her footsteps. Her tailoring business is doing very well.
