Empowerment becomes meaningful when opportunities meet determination. Over the first quarter of the year, Adharshila Self-Help Group (SHG), with the support of NULM (National Urban Livelihoods Mission), took remarkable steps towards financial independence by setting up stalls at multiple prestigious locations across Delhi.
These initiatives not only provided a platform to showcase their products but also strengthened the confidence and entrepreneurial spirit of the women involved.
Stall at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ujwa
The journey began at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ujwa, where members of Adharshila SHG displayed their homemade products such as pickles, amla candy, and other traditional items.
This platform helped them:
- Gain direct customer interaction experience
- Understand pricing and customer preferences
- Build confidence in presenting their products
The response from visitors was encouraging, motivating the women to explore more such opportunities.
Exhibition at Delhi Secretariat
At the Delhi Secretariat, the SHG members received an opportunity to showcase their work in a more formal and high-visibility environment.
This experience:
- Enhanced their exposure to a diverse audience
- Helped them understand professional selling environments
- Opened doors for networking and recognition
Their products were appreciated not just for quality but also for the story of resilience behind them.
Flower Festival at Connaught Place
The participation in the Flower Festival at Connaught Place brought vibrant energy and large footfall. It proved to be a major milestone for Adharshila SHG.
Key highlights:
- High sales due to heavy public engagement

This event significantly boosted the morale and income of the SHG members.
