Kashmir women show the way: Their journey to financial independence through the Umeed Scheme

In Tral, District Pulwama, Insha Bashir stands as a testament to the transformative power of the Umeed scheme, initiated by the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana—National Rural Livelihood Mission (DAY-NRLM). This program is designed to empower unemployed women, guiding them toward financial independence and self-sufficiency. Through the Umeed scheme, Insha received crucial support that enabled her to establish a polyhouse for agricultural cultivation. The assistance provided by the Department of Agriculture, particularly in the form of a subsidy, was instrumental in her journey. This financial backing not only facilitated the setup of the polyhouse but also equipped Insha with the necessary resources and knowledge to thrive in her new venture. With her hard work and dedication, Insha has successfully navigated the challenges of entrepreneurship, moving away from reliance on her parents. Her story is one of resilience and empowerment, showcasing how targeted initiatives can uplift individuals and transform communities. Insha’s experience exemplifies the broader impact of government programs aimed at fostering economic independence among women in rural areas, paving the way for a more equitable future.
