Sumera Hamid, an Entrepreneur in Awantipora, Jammu & Kashmir started a business of Travel & Tours through NRLM. We have benefited greatly from NRLM; we were educated young women, yet we never used to step out of the house. Because previously, we hadn’t found a platform where we could demonstrate our capabilities to people, but NRLM has provided us with that platform. We proved whatever capability we had. My goal is not just to start my own business, but also to provide employment to other girls, said Entrepreneur Sumera. The department has also supported me immensely—at every step and in every area. The Tourism Department also supported me a lot regarding the registration. We don’t just sell tour packages; we offer the hospitality and culture of Jammu & Kashmir. Our objective is to boost employment opportunities and empower women, said the businesswomenSumera Hamid.
