00:00Because the journey started with 10 women and today it is 22,000 plus.
00:04Music
00:27I am an artist.
00:29You are working with more than 11,000 women and empowering them.
00:36Music
00:54Even after marriage, our financial situation was not good.
00:57When I had my first child, I couldn't save her.
01:00At that time, I was very sad that I had to lose my mother and then my child.
01:06At that time, I was broken.
01:08Music
01:20When I started this work, I didn't know that it was a small job.
01:28Music
01:36After buying the machine, 10 women started working.
01:39But the problem was that it was not easy to get work for 10 women.
01:43Then I looked for a market.
01:46And someone told me that the village development organization, of which I am now the president,
01:51told me that it works for women.
01:54If you go to them, maybe you can get help.
01:57Music
02:13We used to go by bus and then walk to their house.
02:16And after going to their house, the family members used to say,
02:20why did you come here? I don't know what you will learn and go.
02:22Tomorrow they will listen to us or not.
02:25But every woman wanted to work.
02:29So, looking at their feelings, we talked to them, their family members,
02:34that they don't have to go anywhere.
02:36Whatever work they do at home, they will get 2-3 hours a day.
02:42Music
02:50I meet women all the time.
02:52We inspire them to work.
02:54And after that, we give them training.
02:57How to make a product according to the market.
02:59For example, a dresser saree, its fabric is very expensive.
03:04But how to care for it.
03:06We give them training.
03:08Then we give them designing training.
03:10And then we get them linked to the market.
03:40Music
03:42We have never even been to the city in the mountains.
03:45So, how will we go directly to Delhi?
03:47How will we talk to people there?
03:49We were very scared.
03:51And the biggest thing is whether the family members will send us or not.
03:54Whether our dream will come true or not.
03:57We reached Delhi and set up a store.
04:00After that, when our customers came,
04:02they also felt that they have come from the village, they are scared.
04:06Music
04:31We do fashion shows all over the world.
04:35And we promote the products of artisans.
04:38Along with that, we get artisans to work with models.
04:44Because the real designers are our artisans.
04:48So, a lot of designers have also started following this.
04:52Music
04:59We were on the KBC stage.
05:01We sat with Abhita Bachchan.
05:03At first, we were scared that how will we talk to such big people.
05:06But Abhita Bachchan talks so well.
05:10We sat with him and talked.
05:12And he told everyone about his craft.
05:15We felt very good.
05:17Music
05:29There has been a change in thinking.
05:31We could not study, but we will definitely teach our daughters.
05:36I am proud that the work we have started is going in the right direction.
