Jammu and Kashmir: Girls benefiting from UMEED scheme

Srinagar: Rural women in Baramulla are aiming to become economically independent after they are getting benefits from the UMEED scheme of Jammu and Kashmir Rural Livelihoods Mission (JKRLM).

The problem of unemployment is being resolved to a great extent with the help of central and state schemes as UMEED is immensely helping women to become entrepreneurs to exhibit and market their products, reports ANI.

Over the years, thousands of girls have taken advantage of these government schemes to overcome their unemployment.

Similarly, one such example is Shamshada Begum, a resident of north Kashmir’s Pattan, who has trained around 300 girls in her Umeed-backed boutique, reports ANI.

Shamshada, a graduate of the Pattan area of Baramulla district, told ANI that she joined the Jammu and Kashmir Rural Livelihoods Mission (JKRLM)-which launched the Umeed scheme in 2018.
