Mrs Veeranki Durga Kumari (physically challenged )<br />

lived with her husb<strong>and</strong> who is a tailor. The income <strong>of</strong><br />

the family was so meager that the family found it very<br />

difficult to meet both the ends. Their life was very hard.<br />

Mrs. Veeranki Durga Kumari became a member <strong>of</strong> the<br />

SHG formed by Gramasiri in Andhra Pradesh supported<br />

by RMK She got a loan <strong>of</strong> Rs.3000/- in the first<br />

instance. With this loan she started a small eatable shop<br />

near a school. After repaying the loan amount she got<br />

another loan <strong>of</strong> Rs.5,000/-. With this amount she started<br />

a small business at her house. She got a good response<br />

so she took another loan <strong>of</strong> Rs.10,000/- from Gramasiri<br />

(RMK NGO partner) to develop her business. She<br />

started preparing pickles. The financial condition <strong>of</strong><br />

the family improved to some extent. This enabled them<br />

to send their children to school. Mrs. Veeranki Durga<br />

Kumari is all praise <strong>of</strong> GRAMASIRI <strong>and</strong> RMK for<br />

extending Micro credit assistance.<br />
