TURNING OPPORTUNITY INTO PROGRESS | RITA TAIDONG
โ Staff Reporter โ Changlang โ November 20
Rita Taidong, an SHG member from Ramun Rachan, Old Changlang, has quietly built a path that reflects both courage and resilience. Her journey hasnโt been loud or dramatic, but every step she has taken carries a sense of determination that speaks for itself.
Last year, Rita received an AGEY loan of โน3,50,000 from her PLF at 0% interest. Holding that approval letter in her hands, she felt a mix of relief and hope, finally, a chance to change her circumstances. With careful thought, she invested in a Tempo vehicle, unsure at first, yet willing to trust her instincts.
Today, when she drives through Old Changlang toward the bazar and nearby offices, she does so with a quiet pride. Villagers now rely on her for timely transportation, waving to her as she passes. The income she earns has eased her worries, helping her support her family with a sense of stability she once only hoped for.
Under BMMU Changlang, Rita isnโt just managing a vehicle, she is steering her life toward a direction she once hesitated to imagine. Her progress may seem simple, but to her family and her community, it feels significant and inspiring.
Ritaโs story is a reminder that when women are given an opportunity, even a small one, they turn it into something meaningful, something that touches not just their own lives, but the lives around them.
