A staggering 94.5% of end users have witnessed a significant upturn in their income, with an average household income increase of 67%. Beyond financial gains, it has enabled families to build better homes and allocate more resources to healthcare and education.

To bolster sustainability, it actively promotes natural dyeing methods, minimizing chemical usage. Furthermore, those engaged in these activities play a vital role in mitigating pollution, offering a cleaner alternative to conventional livelihoods that may have otherwise contributed to environmental degradation.

    The introduction of these machines has liberated women from demeaning practices like traditional 'Thigh reeling' of silk yarn, deeply entrenched in the states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Odisha for generations.

They now work with a sense of dignity and anticipate brighter prospects for their future. Moreover, they are enthusiastic about involving their daughters and other family members in this work willingly.
