Lakhpati through Lac – Urmila Linda

It is never easy for financially deprived women, to break the shackles of society and stand on her own feet. But 45 years old Urmila Linda is doing just that from lac business. Coming from a poor background, she had to drop out of her school after passing the 8th standard. Her father died at an early age, and owing to her mother’s illness, she compelled to discontinue her schooling to make ends meet for her family. Her brothers were also forced to drop out of their school. Though her uncle was in the Army, still they did not get any help from him financially. They had only 0.2 acre of land, which they used for growing paddy only, which was mostly used for home consumption.
