Chopa ki naal and Koyalwav villages collectively host 59 Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Out of these, 150 members have been chosen to participate in the Livelihood and Enterprise Development Program (LEDP) training. The success of the LEDP training is evident in its positive impact on the livelihoods of goat rearers in both villages. This program has effectively decreased mortality rates, improved the average weight of goats, and enhanced marketing practices. Consequently, the average annual income of goat rearers has seen a notable increase of 12,000.

Recognizing the untapped potential within the communities and aiming to create sustainable opportunities for economic growth, Ghoomar Mahila Samiti collaborated with SRIJAN and NABARD to initiate the development of micro-entrepreneurship in the region. The objective was to provide a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs to establish their businesses, fostering self-reliance and financial independence. To bring this vision to life, a Rural Hart was constructed in Koyalwav.
This facility serves as a hub for micro-entrepreneurs to gather and set up their small shops on a nightly basis. The Rural Hart was meticulously designed to meet the specific needs of these entrepreneurs, featuring essential amenities like toilets and bio-degradable facilities. The layout accommodates up to 40 shops, creating a lively marketplace where the community can convene and participate in economic activities.
