Godhan NYAY Yojana is financially empowering
women self-help groups in Chhattisgarh
The successful implementation of the Chhattisgarh
Government’s ‘Godhan NYAY Yojana’ has yielded
fruitful results, providing rural residents with new
employment opportunities. This first-of-its-kind
scheme is playing a crucial role in empowering rural
masses, stock farmers, and women self-help groups,
enabling them to achieve self-reliance.
The scheme has proven to be a sustainable source
of income for the Gwalin Women Self-Help Group

employment for rural masses and women Self-Help
Groups. At the Barhi Gauthan, 11 dedicated women
from the group are involved in vermicompost
production. The steady income generated through
this work has significantly elevated their standard
of living.
Kevra Bai, an active member of the group,
expressed her appreciation for the scheme, stating
that previously she had to look for work in nearby
villages. Despite putting in considerable effort,
she could not earn a substantial income. However,
with the initiation of the Godhan NYAY Yojana,
she now has a stable source of income through
the procurement of cow dung and vermicompost
production. This opportunity has brought about a
positive change in her life.
Kevra Bai highlighted the remarkable employment
and income prospects the vermicompost production
has provided for women of the group. Their
family’s financial condition has improved, and
they wisely utilize their earnings to support their
children’s education and manage other household
responsibilities.
Notably, Kevra Bai has contributed Rs 35,000
towards the construction of a new house of a fellow
member, Sharda Yadav. Similarly, the Godhan NYAY
Yojana continues to positively impact the lives of all
its beneficiaries. All members of the group heaped
