Initially, the groups invested a sum of Rs.5000 including the ingredients for baking cakes like flour, baking powder, bakers whip cream powder, and simple ingredients for making pickles like species, oil, vegetables of any choice and pickle packing bottles or containers and other ingredients for making jams etc. As of now, they sell these products in their own and nearby villages. The earning of the group after deducting all the incurring cost was around 8000 which almost doubled to Rs. 14,290 in the second try. This was very encouraging not only for the two groups but for many other SHGs groups in the locality. Indeed, with their knowledge and success, the groups are today mobilizing resources and encouraged other SHGS groups in their community by giving them training and to follow in the footsteps and choose food processing as a viable livelihood. The role of women has increased manifolds since the project began. The women explain that they have realized that economic self–dependence will come with this new source of earning a livelihood and it has been possible only because of food processing. They are now confident that more funds will come and the lives of their family will improve.
