Supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and executed by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supply (MoICS), the Rural Enterprises and Remittances Project (RERP) SAMRIDDHI has organized Vocational Skill Training (VST) that integrates market chains and modern technology. This initiative has empowered numerous young women from 16 districts in the Koshi, Madhesh, and Bagmati Provinces to shift from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture, thereby boosting rural prosperity. In Bhojpur and Bara Districts, where unique climatic and cultural characteristics prevail, two women have exemplified how commercializing agriculture can help combat poverty. Despite the diversity in climate and culture, the Samriddhi project has proven that VST is a unifying factor in the transition from subsistence farming to a profitable enterprise, ultimately increasing women's income.
