Success Stories: How Mayyan Samman Transforms Lives in Koderma

A series of success stories are emerging from Koderma as the Mayyan Samman Scheme matures. Women who were previously unemployed are now managing profitable shops, kiosks and manufacturing units.

Pooja Devi, for instance, used the grant to launch a ration shop that now supplies the entire neighbourhood. Similarly, Seema Devi expanded her small vegetable stall into a larger marketplace presence, boosting her income dramatically.

These narratives illustrate how a modest government grant can unlock entrepreneurial potential, strengthen family finances and inspire other community members to follow suit.

The collective progress underscores the scheme’s role as a cornerstone of women‑centred economic empowerment in Jharkhand.
