microfinance, changing lives of rural women......

By Kishor


Munia is living in a small helmet of Bihar and mother of three kids. Life was not so easy for her around two year back. Her condition became all the more miserable when her husband Buddhan left her and went to Mumbai for a better future, but neither he returned nor any news of him came. The thought of taking care of her kids without any viable source of income haunted Munia every other day.But one day someone told her about the microfinance scheme of a cooperative society.

The cooperative was providing loan to women who belongs to downtrodden families on a very nominal interest rate. Munia appelied for the loan and she got a loan of the Rs 6000/- and bought some goats. She reared the goats with care and sold them to the local market, and surprisingly within year she made a profit of Rs 3003. She even paid up the loan in a year. Now she has adopted this as a profession and is selling grown goats to local kasai(butcherman). Her children are now going school and she has a saving in a bank too. Though sometimes she thinks about Buddhan but at the second time she also felt proud of her and of the micro-finance institution.

This is not a single story, there are many Munias who have got benefited from projects like this. Many NGOs and financial institution have come forward to help the rural women and have also provided financial aid. In fact by way of providing aid and technology we can make people self-employed.

So what kind of work to be undertaken to uplift the life of people who still doesn't know the meaning of India, as they are busy in arranging a one time meal for themselves. Your take and suggestion would help us to further the development of the rural folks. Put your comment and suggestion......We want more Munia to be self employed and No more Buddhan to leave his native place in search of Rojgar to the metro cities and other hinterlands......

Yo!!!!!!!

    Micro-finance has huge potential to impact the crawling rural economy. We have to innovate and integrate this vision on a mega scale. These small contributions make big diffrences to some one. Thanks for posting great work. I appreciate your writing attempt to keep it sharp, short and simple. Hope this goes a long long way. Congratulations...!!!

Phangrei Hill, Manipur

By Kishor
Phangrei Hill Hills and mountains have always attracted human being for the greatest endeavours and adventures. Located in the most beautiful district of Manipur in Ukhrul, Phangrei Hill offers the scenic beauty and adventure of its own. Top view of the Phangrei Hill Location This hill is located at a journey of almost one hour from the Ukhrul district. It requires utmost care when you are driving for the first time here as the hilly roads are very different from the plain areas. One has to come Ukhrul from Imphal, the capital of Manipur which is around 85kms from Imphal and takes around 4 hours by four wheeler. Small eatery near Phangrei Hill Stay I stayed at 24th North, a restaurant come kohotel in Ukhrul main town. The hotel offers quality good and that too at a reasonable rate. You can have a view of the hill from the window of your hotel room when you will see clouds are hanging over the hills. Sometimes when you wake up in the morning you will find tha...

चाँदनी ------------------------------------- भई तृप्त सावन के बूंदाकड़े पीकर खिलती हो चांदनी मधुरमय होकर!!              वर्षा-काल में यदि जल-प्रलय से कोई छति न होती तो इससे मनभावन और कोई ऋतु नही। वर्षा के कारण वाटिकाओं का हर्सोल्लासित हो हरित वस्त्र धारण कर चहक उठना भला किसे नही भाता। जेठ की झुलसती तपिश के बाद बारिश का आना किसी त्योहार से तनिक भी कम नही। और तिसपर वाटिकाओं, गृह-परिसरों और वनस्थलों में पुष्पों का खिलना। जैसे मेह के रस को पादपों द्वारा अपने अंग-प्रत्यंग में पपीहे की तरह रसपान करना। एक अनंत आनंद की अनुभूति।  वैसे तो वर्षा-काल में कुछेक पुष्प ही पुष्पित होते हैं। बसंत के स्वागत में पहले ही सारे पुष्प अपनी वार्षिक सौंदर्य-प्रदर्शन कर चुके होते हैं। जो जेठ की गर्मी को सहकर खिलते हैं वह ढीठ होते हैं। इन्ही पुष्पों में एक चिरपरिचित पुष्प है चाँदनी। श्वेत वर्ण का यह पुष्प वैसे तो पूरे साल ही अपनी मनोहर छटा बिखेरता है परंतु बारिश में यह और भी मादक और आकर्षक लगता है। महाकवि कालिदास ने मेघदूत में कई पुष्पों का वर्णन किया है जैसे क...

Temple building in India starts from a very ancient time. The evidence of first brick structure in India is from Bhitargaon in Kanpur city of Uttar Pradesh, an Indian state. Bhojeshwar Temple Bhojeshwar Temple Bhojpur temple also known as Bhojeshwar temple is located 32 kms from Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. When we made a plan to visit Bhimbetka, I googled other nearby places. I have a flair for historical places    and found a quest to visit this temple. We started early in the morning from Bhopal at 8. By 10 we were at Bhojpur where Bhojeshwar temple is located. But what is unique about this temple. The temple is called Somnath of the east. Somnath temple is in Gujarat and famous for its historicity and grand architecture. The temple at Bhojpur is located on a high plinth. It is believed the temple was build by Indian King Bhoja(1010-1055). River betwa flows a few meters away from the main temple. Unique architecture Huge pillars and outer wal...
