How will we get rid of poverty by saving Rs 40 a month?
By saving small amounts, you can one day save thousands of rupees. Today, some of the older groups like Jai Ma Durge have savings worth lakhs. For example, in the old days, wheat used to ground on chakkis by hand. Women used to take out one fistful and put it away. So by the end of the month, they had 30 fistfuls, which was about 3 or 4 kgs or worth Rs 30 or 40. Similarly, Rs 40 a month turns into Rs 40,000 after some time. And on the basis of your savings, the bank gives you loans through which you can start a dairy, open a shop or a PCO or do any other work that you want to do.
