Smt. Baby is a resident of Sajipa Munnur Village in Bantwal Taluk. She joined the Mallikeshwari Self Help Group (SHG), which is run by SKDRDP. Under SKDRDP’s Jnanavikasa Program, she received self-employment training. Due to a shortage of land, she could not pursue farming activities, so she began to grow jasmine flowers on her roof. Initially, it was difficult, but today she is able to earn a sustainable income and lead a contented life. Her son also received a pension under the Jnanavikasa Program.
