Name: Samruddhi Lad
Self-Help Group: Swamini Self-Help Group
Project: PSS SAKHI PROJECT Initiative Samruddhi Lad is a determined and hardworking woman whose journey reflects the true power of community support and financial empowerment. As a dedicated mother of two school-going boys, her greatest dream was to provide them with quality education despite financial limitations.

With her husband working in a private office, the family managed daily expenses, but educational costs became a growing challenge. To overcome this hurdle, Samruddhi turned to the Swamini Self-Help Group, where she availed an internal loan to support her children’s academic needs.

This timely financial assistance became a turning point in her life. The loan not only helped her pay school fees and related expenses but also gave her the confidence to continue planning for her children’s future without fear of financial barriers.

Samruddhi’s journey was not easy. She balanced household responsibilities while carefully managing loan repayments. With discipline, dedication, and the continuous support of her Self-Help Group, she successfully repaid the entire loan over time.

Clearing the loan was a proud and emotional milestone for Samruddhi. It symbolized more than financial success—it represented her determination as a mother and her commitment to securing a better future for her children.

Her story highlights the true impact of Self-Help Groups and the PSS initiative. Through internal loans and collective support, women like Samruddhi are empowered to overcome financial challenges and fulfil their dreams.

Today, Samruddhi stands as an inspiration to other women in her community, proving that with the right guidance and support, no dream is too big and no challenge is too difficult.

Samruddhi Lad’s journey is a powerful reminder that education, empowerment, and community together create a brighter tomorrow.
