A Day of Empowerment in Hazaribagh!

12 October 2023, Hazaribagh: Hazaribagh MP Shri Jayant Sinha inaugurated the historic Swavalamban Conclave-cum-Fair under the patronage of SIDBI, a celebration of local artisans’ talent and passion. We are thrilled to announce the launch of the SIDBI-supported Micro Enterprise Promotion Program by NBJK, striving to establish 1100 enterprises in five districts over four years, fostering financial growth and unleashing creativity for local entrepreneurs.

The event also marked the success of the Rural Entrepreneurship Program (1999-2006) by NBJK-SIDBI, with 2044 enterprises created, providing livelihoods for 4700 people over two decades.

Shri Sinha emphasized empowering small entrepreneurs with technical support, marketing assistance, and innovation like business credit cards. He has unveiled other projects like CSR assistance to Akshaya Patra, cooperatives supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the “Atmanirbhar Hazaribagh” campaign in partnership with HDFC Bank, aiming to replicate success in 20 more Jharkhand districts.

SIDBI Chairman Shri S. Ramann commended women’s active participation and promised to address the challenges faced by small entrepreneurs across districts.

We also shared about “Project Care” for Kohwar-Sohrai painter groups, mushroom production program for livelihood generation, and lac processing skill development for rural women by other NGOs.

Certificates were distributed among the beneficiaries of SIDBI-supported projects, and guests appreciated the local products on display. Hazaribagh, get ready for a brighter future!
