The quote, “Kosish Karne Walo Ki Kabhi Haar Nahi Hoti’’,
holds true for this ‘illiterate’ housewife who has achieved this much of
success that even well educated people couldn’t achieve. She has established herself
that way in the business world.
Born in a conservative rural environment of Kimsar in Uttarakhad, Sumati Negi negi has written her own story through proper economic empowerment that is currently inspiring a thousands of people.
Eight years before, she started feeling bored after her
children in the boundaries of her home. Then, she came in contact with
Himalayan Enviornment Studies and Conservation organization that encouraged her
in the bakery. Being a good learner, she was sent to Central Food Technology
Institute in Mysore to learn the latest techniques in bakery.
In the beginning, she started baking cookies, biscuits, with
a microwave oven in her home. Later on in 2005, she realized her magic in hands
and started making rusks, patties, sweet buns and a variety of cream rolls.
Being an Inhabitant of garhwal, as she knew to make some
taste different, she started making cookies with ‘mandua’, ‘chaulai’, ‘jhangora’
and ‘soyabean’. People liked the cookies that much so she started selling
these.
In 2007, She got a chance to visit Switzerland as a part of
some NGO, there she got her advanced training in Bakery.
Coming back from there, she took a loan of Rs. 90000, and
brought some bakery equipment for her small shop in her village. Her magic of
mandua cookies and other confectionary items was that much popularized that her
small business has now grown with a turnover of a million rupees in just
one-and-a-half years.
She has become a true role model for the thousands of
housewives living in the extreme regions of the Garhwal, who cannot show their
true talent in front of the society. She is a true example that being
illiterate is not a problem, if you have dreams in eyes and a lust to conquer
them.
