living of the rural community, by providing health and

hygiene education.

Help Group) is selected as a Shakti entrepreneur, commonly referred as 'Shakti Amma'. She receives
stocks from HULs rural distributor. After being trained by the company, the Shakti entrepreneur then sells
those goods directly to consumers and retailers in the village.
