Basanti Devi, aged 35, resides with her husband, Fagu Gope, in the village of Tuttoli, Panchayat–Tirla, in the Khunti block of the Khunti district. Both of them are primarily engaged in daily wage labour and currently live in a rented house in the village, as their original home was demolished due to heavy rain. They do not have any children.

Basanti learned about the organization's work from her neighbour and attended a meeting with other women. The organization's staff motivated her to become a member of the Self-Help Group (SHG), similar to other women in the village. During the meeting, the lady worker informed her about government programs such as the Aushman card, MNREGA, PM Rural Housing Schemes, etc.

Facing a significant need, Basanti applied for a house under the PM Rural Housing Schemes, but her application was initially rejected. In the subsequent attempt, our project staff provided support and resubmitted the application with
the necessary documents. After six months, she received an allotment and successfully constructed a two-room house.

Now, she is overjoyed to have a home under the PM Rural Housing Schemes, thanks to the support of the organization's staff. Basanti now lives peacefully in her new home and expresses gratitude to SGVV for this invaluable assistance.
