Mrs. Neema Rawat
She joined the Soft Toys Making programme under UGVS and now makes and sells soft toys from her house.
Neema Rawat is 34 years old and lives at Madhi Colony Chauras in Kirtinagar block of Tehri Garhwal district, Uttarakhand. She is the daughter of Mr. Deendayal and Mrs. Laxmi Devi and the family lives on agriculture. Her UGVS identification number is 118000782.
She belongs to a poor family of village Madhi in Kirtinagar. Because of the financial condition at home she worried about the future of her children and wanted to support her husband with the house expenses. A relative told her about the UGVS training programme running in her own town, and she visited the centre and took admission in the Soft Toys Making training programme.
Life in the hill areas is not as easy as it looks and people struggle to meet their daily needs. Her whole time used to go in household work and in looking after her children, but she managed her daily work along with the training schedule and completed the course.
She started the business of making and selling soft toys from her house and earns approximately 3000 to 4000 per month. She has become a role model for other women in the area who want to do something for their families.
