Project Sakhi, a venture initiated by Hindalco Renukoot, is dedicated to empowering women through entrepreneurship. The project enabled 30 women to start their entrepreneurship journey to achieve financial independence. It made them self‐sufficient and contributed to the economic prosperity of their families and communities.
For example, Sangeeta Devi from Babhani received extensive support when she opened her small grocery store. Over time, she was guided on how to expand her business. Like her, other women were provided training on aspects of business management. Project Sakhi provided them with raw materials, marketing assistance and encouragement to grow and diversify their businesses.
The initiative also elevated the social status of the women, with estimated monthly earnings ranging from ₹7,000 to ₹8,000.
