Swaroopa Rani now earns an additional ₹8,000 per month through her saree business.

Kommu Swaroopa Rani, aged 38, is a dedicated member of Velanginimatha HASSS Mahila Sangam since 2023. Her husband, K. Ravi Kumar, earns Rs.18,000 per month as a private employee, and the couple has three daughters—Mamatha (10th std), Varshini (6th std), and Karuna (4th std). To support her family, Swaroopa took up tailoring at home, earning Rs.4,000 monthly, which was insufficient for household and educational needs. Recognizing her struggle, HASSS provided a loan of Rs.50,000, enabling her to start a small saree business from home. With tailoring and saree sales, she now earns Rs.8,000 per month and gratefully thanks HASSS for the support.
