Jhalluram Ahirwar of Anuppur today owns a cyber cafe and photo copy shop and has hired the services of an employee at Rs 3,000 per month. For Jhalluram, this became possible through the loan facility under Mukhya Mantri Swarozgar Yojana.
Following financial constraints, soon after passing 12th standard, Jhalluram pursued a computer course and started looking for jobs. He came to know about the loan facility being provided to youths belonging to scheduled caste to set up their own enterprises. He immediately contacted officials of the Antyavasayi Cooperative Committee of Anuppur and applied for a loan for opening a cyber café and photo copy shop. Finding him eligible, officials approved Rs 2 lakh loan and Rs 60 thousand grant under the Mukhya Mantri Swarozgar Yojana.
With the help of Mukhya Mantri Swarozgar Yojana and his dedication, Jhalluram opened a cyber café and photo copy shop in Pondki near Indira Gandhi National Tribal University. With the office being near the university, his business started flourishing and he began to earn an income of Rs 8 to Rs 10 thousand per month. He is so glad that he wants to devote time to this kind of flourishing business and his dream is to employ more and more people.
Due to work pressure, he has appointed an employee at Rs 3 thousand per month and is regularly repaying his loan as well. Jhalluram Ahirwar says that Mukhya Mantri Swarozgar Yojana has made him so worthy that he has not only started his own enterprise but he is capable of giving employment to others.
