As part of Evonith Steel’s CSR initiatives, a group of landless women from Selookate, along with women who had migrated from other states and settled in the village, came forward in 2023 with a shared goal to start their own enterprise.
With this intent, they approached the Evonith Steel team and presented their idea, seeking guidance on how to move ahead. After understanding their vision, support was extended to help them establish a spice manufacturing unit. The women were provided with the required resources and underwent training to build the necessary skills for managing the enterprise effectively.
Over time, the initiative has grown steadily, and the business is now operating at a good scale. Continued efforts are being made to support market linkages, including the purchase of their products, helping strengthen and sustain their operations.
This journey reflects the collective efforts and determination of the women, supported by the encouragement of the community and the guidance of Evonith Steel. Together, these efforts have made it possible to create stable livelihoods and support future growth and independence.
