A trip to Dewal market to buy daily essentials or for bank-related work is a 47 km journey for the people of this village.

Due to the rough terrain and lack of infrastructure, villagers have to travel 7 km solely on foot and the rest 40 km by road. That turns out to be a costly, time-consuming affair.

Our CFL trainings informed the people of Dewal about digital banking.

They seemed apprehensive at start, as accessibility to internet was beyond their wildest dreams, but when explained the ease of dialing *99# to see their savings and bank account details without internet hassles, they were thrilled as convenience is now at their fingertips.

Surender Singh is a farmer in the Jhajjar district of Haryana. He needed money urgently for farming. 

He approached his family members and the local moneylender for financial help, but without success. 

At a camp organised by CFL, he heard about the Kisan Credit Card scheme. He gathered more information, especially about its benefits. 

A loan of Rs. 1.1 lakh, sanctioned within 10 days of application, has allowed him to purchase the required farm goods.

CFL Kangan organised awareness programmes in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir to meet and educate the various stakeholders. 

Afrooza Bano, a young beneficiary, took a loan of Rs 2,00,000 from J&K Bank with the help of the CFL team to take her embroidery business to the next level.

She has expanded her business along with 10 other women and is working towards make their lives prosperous through a target-oriented approach. This journey is truly an inspiring one.

Afrooza thanked the CFL team for its support and guidance through the awareness campaigns.

Pappu Chaiwala, a 58-year-old tea shop owner, found his life taking new direction when he encountered the Khatauli CFL. Inspired to learn about financial literacy, he sought guidance from Field Coordinators Mr. Waseem Ahmed and Ms. Samreen. They imparted lessons on savings, investment, and digital banking, igniting a spark of change within Pappu. 

Armed with newfound knowledge, Pappu embraced digital banking, leveraging a bar code for his shop, and securing his earnings. Investing in his savings wisely, Pappu purchased a plot, witnessing its value soar. 

His journey exemplifies the transformative power of financial literacy, turning humble beginnings into a pathway to success.
